Wouldn't the ones in the West with presumably stronger copyright laws be in a better position, since the trillion dollar megacorporations using their works have to actually pay them, whereas in p…

At least in the Netherlands it's extremely difficult to fire someone (which is a good thing). Unless they do something straight up illegal or are proven to be extremely incompetent, the only way …

Maybe if we lived in a world that never had copyright law to begin with, but we don't. We live in a world where trillion dollar entities like Microsoft & Disney exist. Even if you abolished t…

I do like the defensiveness from the Tweet author when someone brought up one of his own pending patent, as if it weren't the same exact thing. I also find it interesting that it seems to be larg…

There's lots and lots of OSS licenses out there, some more lenient than others. I personally know quite a few OSS devs that don't care if individuals and small shops use their stuff in whate…

Always great to see people point out Weird Al, cause he's the shining beacon of an example of what OpenAI et al. should be doing. He explicitly gets permission from the original authors before …

I love seeing all the AI sycophants squirm at this news. Here's to hoping NYT wins this one and gets everything they ask for, and more!

Yeah the whole thing with Zucc's trial highlighted this perfectly for me, a bunch of clueless old dolts who have no fucking idea how anything in the modern age works. I'm eagerly awaiting th…

Do people ever get tired of this argument that relies on anthropomorphizing these AI black boxes? A computer isn't a human, and we already have laws that have a different effect depending on if i…

Amusing to see someone referring to anyone other than the megacorp controlled by fucking micro$oft hoovering as much data as they can, legally and otherwise, as a parasite.

Anecdotal but I know lots of creatives (and by creatives I also include some devs) who've stopped publishing anything publicly because of various AI companies just stealing everything they can ge…

I don't think anyone would be against breaking up M$ a bit. Why wouldn't you want some proper M$ Office alternatives? Xbox is a bit trickier presumably because of PC gaming and Sony/Nin…
