If your industry depends on theft to survive maybe your industry shouldn't exist? Just a thought
OK, but are there any downsides? I see nothing wrong with that.
Oh no, we can't make slop without stealing? The horror!
It’s terrible garbage, but we need to do illegal things to create it!
If it dies, it dies.
It wouldn't kill it. It would just force them to use public domain and CC content like the rest of us
I can't make my Mini-mouse with hunky Millhouse crossover sex art without a C&D and psychology recommendation, but sure, these rich assholes can steal the works of others. Somehow their business is more important than the rights of the people that they would definitely sue if you showed more than 3s of copyrighted work that they owned...

Meta’s former head of global affairs said …
I'd urge people watch and read Alex Avila’s essay on how the bourgeoisie are controlling the internet through anti AI campaigning.
It's pretty damning, and it's all about control. Larceny is wrong indeed, but AI corporations are NOT being charged with intellectual property “theft,” which is the crux of this counter capitalist campaign.
If the rich wanted AI regulated, they would have made the politicians they own pass those policies.

What a waste of time.
I'm blocking you now.
If you did, you would have found H.R.2794 & SB 1047
But I'm sure you went in to watch the video without any bias at all, and read through the citations.
