the framing of generative ai as "theft" in popular discourse has really set us back so far like not only should we not consider copyright infringement theft we shouldn't even consider generative ai copyright infringement

hbmmaster

who do you think benefits from redefining "theft" to include "making something indirectly derivative of something created by someone else"? because I can assure you it's not artists

for years disney used their billions to alter copyright law. they kept extending the date that it expired in order to hold on to the rights of their movies for longer and longer (movies that were mostly based on public domain works fyi)

it was only after years of protest against this that they finally decided to give up indefinitely as public perception had turned against them and they didnt think the PR backlash would be worth it

with the conflation of generative AI with 'theft,' and the amount of support this idea has from creatives, i genuinely worry that if Disney tried this again in a few years, under the guise of 'protecting artists from AI,' it would pass with little push back and we would lose more of our cultural history to multi-billion corporations

also defining piracy (aka 'copying') as theft is what has let companies use the full power of copyright law to incarcerate people, destroying peoples lives in the name of 'lost profit' and, in the case of nintendo, even force a guy into what is basically indentured servitude for the rest of his life

two years ago tumblr users were spreading the fundraiser advertising itself for "supporting human artists" well into a five digit number of notes, organized by "Concept Art Association"

2. Concept Art Association (CAA) jumped into the Washington, DC landscape immediately by joining forces with fellow intellectual property organizations. CAA became a member of the Copyright Alliance (https://copyrightalliance.org/) as well as the Digital Creators Coalition (https://www.digitalcreatorscoalition.org/).

which then joined "Copyright Alliance" which consists of following members, among others:

MPA ("In the 1980s, it spoke out against VCRs and the threat that the MPA believed they represented to the movie industry")

RIAA

Authors Guild ("guild has been a persistent critic of controlled digital lending"; more like Publisher's Guild amirite)

Adobe (which made its own image generator)

Getty Images (which sued Stable Diffusion (for people not familiar with it: free and you can run it on your own computer), and then released its own paid AI generator)

Disney (guess fucking what)

Oracle ("the Nestle of software" in how if you ask 5 people why Oracle is bad you will get 10 different answers)

and furthermore all of them are keen on destroying the Internet Archive

by supporting copyright further, we're heading into a future where copyright gets tightened even more, and AI generators exist anyway, owned by the largest media companies, which is honestly the worst possible future for everyone

i was gonna do like a whole series of these but this is the only one that made me laugh

[ID: Eddy frantically pushing Double D's head into the ground right as Double D has come back from vacation, still in his flowery shirt and dragging his luggage behind him. In the background, Ed is speaking at a fake funeral for Double D, with a dummy of Double D laying in a cardboard coffin in someone's driveway. Jonny, Sarah, and Jimmy are in the crowd, and are very sad. It's captioned: "Ed, Edd n' Eddy episodes I made up: Pushing Up Eds. Edd goes on vacation and when the other kids start asking where he went, Eddy sarcastically says he died. Eddy immediately realizes he can profit off this by holding a fake funeral to raise donations for bees with broken wings or something, claiming it's what Edd would've wanted, it's his final wish. Things go south when Edd's vacation is cancelled and comes home early, and Ed and Eddy have to hide Edd from the other kids." /END ID]
