Thousands of authors demand payment from AI companies for use of copyrighted works
  • This is so stupid. If I read a book and get inspired by it and write my own stuff, as long as I'm not using the copyrighted characters, I don't need to pay anyone anything other than purchasing the book which inspired me originally.

    If this were a law, why shouldn't pretty much each modern day fantasy author not pay Tolkien foundation or any non fiction pay each citation.

  • And your second from the last paragraph is the problem. Clearly there aren't enough people who care who aren't in a predicament about whether they can feed their families.

    Regardless of what regulations are put in place short of robbing the wealthy, thereby becoming the supposed villains, they'll always find a way.

    Anyway, one thing I've learned over the years is there's no way to change your opinion or mine, not at a deep rooted level anyway. The minute people caring about capitalism falls below the other side, it'll probably be outlawed.

  • Because basic economics is never taught properly in schools. People don't understand what free healthcare/education/whatever costs. Because, at least in the US, universities are heavily politicized by anti capitalist mentality.
