    As much as I hate AI, current copyright laws are out of control and are extended well beyond what they should be used for.

      AI is way more out of control than copyright.

      There’s simply no way to justify what the AI compies have been doing. As that one Microsoft exec said, it’s the “largest theft of labor” in modern history

      I hate them too but AI is more of a threat to all of us. Any chance at stopping the madness is good enough for me.

        I mean Disney’s lawyer game is top notch. I would love to see the mouse vs AI battle.

      As long as we live under capitalism, copyright protects small artists, writers, and creators as much as it protects large shitty corporations who weaponize it.

      I’d love to be rid of all intellectual property, but we have a lot to fix before that can become reality without punishing people who rely on it.

      I’m down with some huge reforms though.

        No, not at all. Do you have any idea of how expensive it is to bring a lawsuit? What you are saying about protecting small artists is pure propaganda. Furthermore, this only matters for commercial artist as copyright is never used in 99.999% of real life cases

        We will never move forward as long as we allow all of our modern culture and technology to be locked up by corporations through imaginary property rights.

          It also costs money to register a copyright. And if it’s not registered when the copyright infringement happens, statutory damages don’t apply and you need to prove actual damages instead.

        Its actually mainly used to bully small creators so they can have precedent to go after larger ones.

      I agree, but I fucking hate that it’s AI that’s breaking the concept. First of all, it’s not like it’s a righteous fight, whoever wins, we all lose. Second, as much as I think copywrite is abused like hell, I still think the idea, one closer to the original, has merit and does provide crucial protections for individuals.

      Sadly the fucking plagiarism machine and the anti-human dirtbags running it have found the absolute worst possible way to break the system. Ultimately resulting in nothing for us plebes that copywrite should protect and all the benefits that the shit copywrite coroporate power grab produced for them.
