What is the actual justification for this? Everyone has to pay for this except for AI companies, so AI can continue to develop into a universally regarded negative?

I mean honestly this AI era is the time for these absurd anti-piracy penalties to be enforced. Meta downloads libgen? $250,000 per book plus jail time to the person who's responsible.

Oh but laws aren't for the rich and powerful you see!

Normal people pirate: one hundred bazillion dollars fine for download The Hangover.

One hundred bazillion dollars company pirate: special law to say it okay because poor company no can exist without pirate 😞

If AI companies can pirate, so can individuals.

You know I am somewhat of a large language model myself.

At this rate we will get access to more rights if we can figure out a way to legally classify ourselves as AI.

Disband Copyright

[–] maplebar@lemmy.world 15 points 12 hours ago

Either get rid of copyright for everything and everyone, or don't.

But no stupid BULLSHIT exception for AI slop.

  1. There’s a practical concern: how do you prevent ai without preventing people.
  2. What if you want to allow search, and how is that different than ai, legally or in practice?
  3. Does this put Reddit in a new light? Free content to users but charging for the api to do bulk download such as for ai?

Search is very different to create something.
