#TikTok sucks...
They are muting my videos because of the damn #copyrights, even I use just less than one minute.
This or the artists are idiots too...
Well, here's a twist: American Airlines filed--and won by default--a #ScheduleA case against defendants who allegedly "carried out a scheme to defraud jobseekers in which they sent out emails holding themselves out as Recruitment Directors for American," using AA marks and "unauthorized copies of American's copyrighted images."
Am. Airlines v. Schedule A, 2024 WL 945262, at *1 (S.D. Fla. Feb. 16, 2024).
Regulators of implanted medical technology should be demanding that all source code, design docs and other technical material be lodged in escrow.
If the company ceases to make support available, make it all public.
It's one thing for movies or TV shows or video games to disappear "into the vault", but prioritising protection of completely unused IP rights over the the health and wellbeing of patients is criminal.
IMHO #Copyrights and #Patents should be voided and nullified the moment their holders refuse to license them out and/or support it under FRAND (Fair, ReasomablebAnd Non-Discriminatory) Terms that should be publicized by law for transparency as well as scrutiny.
In fact, there's like a giant publisher offering works with #expired#Copyrights that thus became #PublicDomain on prices lower than the cost of self-printing...
@ben Justified! OpenAI must not be allowed to work as a criminal tool to steal, what is not Open Intellectual Property but proprietary product protected by copyrights & property rights.
"If #OpenAI is found to have violated any #copyrights in this process, #FederalLaw allows for the infringing articles to be destroyed at the end of the case.
In other words, if a federal judge finds that OpenAI illegally copied The Times' articles to train its #AI model, the court could order the company to destroy #ChatGPT's dataset. " #AILaw#GenerativeAI
I wonder if the whole #AI thing will finally convince artists that modern #copyright regime was never meant to protect them.
It was meant to protect the middlemen. The Amazons, the Spotifies, the Sonys, the Disneys. The film studios, the publishing houses.
Now the middlemen figured out they own basically all of art, and that they can just train a computer on that, to replace artists with a piece of software.
And then stop paying artists even the pittance they were being paid so far.

To believe that #AI will merely be a harmless and purely benevolent tool for everyone is naive, imo-- especially for those in #writing and #publishing.
The #automobile revolutionized the world. In the process, it also put a lot of blacksmiths out of work, and sent a lot of horses to glue factories & slaughterhouses.
I see my #editorial career as being like a blacksmith in the age of #AI. It won't be a common job in the future, & the few who do it will have a very different job description & use very different tools than I ever have. Software like #Grammarly & #ChatGPT can already do much of the work I used to do-- not as well as a human right now, but it won't be long until they can reliably replace #editors.
But once again, we'll be handing our #art over to corporations-- the same oligarchs who plowed over our #copyrights to train their AI will control the software that they'll make us reliant on.

My worry is that the common person creator cannot get results from Congress which would favor the creators, and that the big corporations will set the rules-- in their favor, of course.
I don't know of any system that could be put in place which would both protect from Big Data scraping and over-profitting, while also allowing creators to make a living in an era of #AI.
I guess I just don't hold out much hope that any actual changes would not simply make things worse.😞
Auf der Tech-Konferenz VivaTech macht Frankreich den Vorstoß, das Zentrum für künstliche Intelligenz in Europa zu werden, setzt zugleich aber auf Regulierung.
"IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, Getty Images, Shutterstock & Adobe are among those who’ve explicitly said they’ll indemnify generative AI customers over IP rights claims. Today, OpenAI joins that group."
Seems like a good day for a reminder of how quick studios are to screw over writers. In 1999, NBC moved a series from their regular network to Sci Fi Channel. My pay went from $240,000 to $0. Because my contract paid "per broadcast episode" instead of just "per episode."
