  • What exactly do you want me to tell afraid of zombies? Because I feel like I’ve responded to you on that issue already. Despite tour repeated and breathless insistence, I don’t think he’s trolling. This shit right here? This is you trolling.

  • Lemme get this straight. I deleted a response I made to one of your many ridiculous accusations, reposted it in the correct spot - not insulting, btw, and I stand by it - you make yet another trolling accusation and in order to “gotcha” me you go back weeks/months through my post history to find me a nonspecific mean spirited comment I made and deleted? And you don’t get how this is troll behavior? I mean it would be one thing if you really did catch me out but my dude this isn’t it. I joked about nft bros getting burned by uv lights, and deleted it afterwards. You’re really, really bad at this internet sleuthing and it should (but won’t) maybe indicate to you that you shouldn’t just go around lobbing accusations of trolling. People in glass houses etc.

    I’ve been far too generous with my time with you though. Goodbye troll. Be better.

  • Oh no perish the thought. You found me out. I said a meanie about nft bros and deleted it. Guess that’s the exact same as making personal insults and accusations and then cowardly deleting them when I receive push back. But please do continue. It’s good to see you’re getting some quality reading in.

  • I’m Incredibly worried about AI deepfakes and voice cloning for a whole host of reasons. It’s one of the things I think we are collectively least prepared to deal with. The privacy concerns, national security, cyber security - to say nothing of disinformation and yeah, labor impacts — we are fucked and not at all ready for this.

    Name and likeness rights, rights of publicity though and privacy rights don’t stem from copyright and don’t require an expansion of copyright to further protect. There’s case law already preventing a business from cloning someone without their permission, and everyone will be paying very close attention to those parts of contracts moving forward, I’d wager. As to wholesale replacing actors and talent with generated content — yeah, I’m very worried a lot of artists and creative people are as fucked as the lawyers and the accountants and writers and everyone else when it comes to job displacement.

    Again, despite your really aggressive tone, I’m telling you: we almost certainly agree more than we disagree. It is ghoulish watching studios rush to replace extras and voice actors and resurrect dead actors. True cyberpunk dystopia necromancer shit. I’m hoping that we see more victories won in this genuinely encouraging resurgence of labor (todays SAG AFTRA deal notwithstanding) and legislation directly addressing the labor impacts of AI more broadly. Different kinds of guard rails and safety nets. I just don’t think copyright is the answer you think it is to the horrors that we both agree are coming.

  • Not legal advice not your lawyer etc etc. But I would likely never suggest someone pursue aggressively against individual piracy. You write contracts for your partners. You fight businesses when they breach. You make great work and price it appropriately. You make your wins there and you do everything you can to not find yourself in a courtroom or arbitration if you can avoid it. You’re not winning any friends and you’re not saving yourself any trouble by raging against torrents. Especially for small creators the calculus never (imo) works out in their favor. More often than not, small artists and creators need to be much more concerned about and need help with being able to defend themselves against spurious accusations of infringement by larger corporate Ip rent seekers and more-or-less automated systems (again: cyberpunk dystopia).

    Speaking personally I find the equivocation of “copyright infringement” and “theft” ridiculous. One download = \ = one “stolen” sale, and it never has. Theft requires depriving the original of the property, being able to exercise exclusive control over it. Conceptually it has always broken down when talking about digital goods.

  • I only discuss copyright on posts about AI copyright issues. Yes, brilliant observation. I also talk about privacy y issues on privacy relevant posts, labor issues on worker rights related articles and environmental justice on global warming pieces. Truly a brilliant and skewering observation. Youre a true internet private eye.

    Fair use and pushing back against (corporate serving) copyright maximalism is an issue I am passionate about and engage in. Is that a problem for you?
