What’s that phrase Trumpy Dumpty liked so much? Witch hunt? Yeah, that’s it.
This is a witch hunt.
Yeah, you were projecting again orange orangutan.

The lot serves as a temporary storage space for Teslas arriving from overseas before they are sent to dealerships.
Hang on a second, this lot of cybertrucks came in from overseas? Aren’t they made in the USA?
Hmmm maybe they were just stored there because they weren’t selling.
Copyright has not, was not intended to, and does not currently, pay artists.
You are correct, copyright is ownership, not income. I own the copyright for all my work (but not work for hire) and what I do with it is my discretion.
What is income, is the content I sell for the price acceptable to the buyer. Copyright (as originally conceived) is my protection so someone doesn’t take my work and use it to undermine my skillset. One of the reasons why penalties for copyright infringement don’t need actual damages and why Facebook (and other AI companies) are starting to sweat bullets and hire lawyers.
That said, as a creative who relied on artistic income and pays other creatives appropriately, modern copyright law is far, far overreaching and in need of major overhaul. Gatekeeping was never the intent of early copyright and can fuck right off; if I paid for it, they don’t get to say no.
That’s a good litmus test. If asking/paying artists to train your AI destroys your business model, maybe you’re the arsehole. ;)
While true, I felt (if misguided) more comfortable with my data under California data protection laws than Saudi Arabia.
Too much work. Just rotate the arm down about 40° at this point.
/s of course, but it stung to type
