we’re focused on the double standard. it’s theft and we go to prison when the people do it. it’s innovation and good when the billionaires do it. who’s always getting stolen from is the poor, and always by the billionaires. any attempt to reverse this flow is met with prison time.
Difference is for me, if I feed a LLM your work and now it can produce books, music, or art in your style, then yeah its infringement, especially if you monetise that output. Its devaluing your ability to make new and unique content if your work isn’t protected if I can copy your style with a simple prompt for say a recruitment ad for ICE and there is fuck all you can do about it.
Which is more capitalistic, giant corporations like Facebook stealing others work and devaluing labour and talnet further or self created content that could be quite easily self published? Its classic big guy verses little guy.
Who’s more likely to have the legal fees to pursue copyright infringement cases, the big corporations who do it all the time stringing people along until they go broke trying to fight them and than go and lobby for another 10 years copyright extension or the poor artist?
Copyright and IP exist for their benefit, not ours.
Yeah, we’re like the peasants who were robbed of all the wheat they worked so hard to grow and left to starve. Hell, what if executions for thoughtcrimes became the norm?
Are people really arguing that copyright infringement is theft?
We have come full circle.

No. They’re saying that if the government is calling copyright theft by all other measures, this should be too.
It is the playing field being unlevel that is under question in both cases.
It’s only copyright theft when the poors do it.
You hit the nail on the head, dude.
If you are wealthy enough it is, if not then you are fucked.
Goes both ways doesn’t it? People defending piracy of software but hating on AI.
But when an analog artist gets his inspiration (like AI) from other artists it’s fine when an AI does it all hell breaks loose.
peak hypocrisy…
The anti-AI crowd appears to outweigh the pro-piracy crowd on Lemmy.

Why fight to prop up capitalism?

“Style” is not a trademarkeable asset, you buffon.
