It's only a matter of time before this project gets a cease & desist from Disney.

(Disney owns 20th Century Studios, formerly 20th Century Fox, owner of the Terminator franchise.)




Several trademarks exist for skynet, none are registered to/owned by Disney https://uspto.report/Search/Skynet


We get somewhere between dozens and hundreds of DMCA's per week, and we comply with all of them. We can't actually take content off of Skynet itself (similar to how you can't actually take content off of IPFS), but we can have our portal (https://siasky.net) refuse to serve content with known-infringing or known-abusive hashes.


GP was joking about the name of the project itself infringing on Disney trademarks, but (as a peer notes) Fox/Disney hasn't registered a trademark on Skynet.


they could call it skynettery afterwards xD
