@robodoll don't call "#AI" Output "#art" because that'll only empower #WIPO and the #CopyrightMafia in their attempts to make it #copyright-able.

  • Which luckily it isn't in #Germany because machines cannot have #authorship and without #author there's neither "creative work" nor "intellectual property" being generated that could be subject to protection!

Still calling it "art" is an insult to any form of art regardless of subjective quality or objective effort.

@resieguen die #GEMAvermutung wird von denen stets geflext, sofern #Kreative sich nicht mit #Klarnamen selbst-doxxen - selbst wenn diese nachweislich keine Mitglieder bei irgendeiner #Verwertungsgesellschafft und bei keinem #Verleger / #Plattenlabel / ... unter Vertrag sind.

Ich stelle mir die Frage was passiert wenn #Musiker*innen, #Komponist*innen u.ä. ihr Zeug explizit so lizensieren dass der #GEMA (und dem Rest der #Copyrightmafia) die #Lizensierung explizit verboten wird!

Auch stelle ich mir die Frage wie das mit nicht-deutschsprachigen / nicht in #Deutschland oder der #EU ansässigen #Musikschaffende|n aussieht.

@snow IMHO #piracy should only be considered "#theft" [with damages being limited to the cost of properly licensing it!] if the pirated material was still offered for licensing new under fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms.

In the past, #EA did offer to replace broken discs / cartridges for a nominal fee [AFAIK €10 per disc or €15 for double-discs] if people mailed in the original (broken) media. I'd say that is should apply to everything, tho granted that only allows people in theory to deal with #DiscRot (assuming the publisher is able and willing to perpetually honour this service), not allowing them to legally attain new licenses.

#Valve & #Steam legally workaround this by merely providing access and not a #license per-se.

  • Still, I think #piracy in almost all cases is (as GabeN correctly said:) "A services problem!" and if a product is fairly priced and then people will be willing to pay for it.

I just think that the rampant Enshittification of even #PhysicalMedia is unsustainable and I wish for an #OpenSource #competitor to #BDXL and it's #OnlineDRM!

The estate of Yves Klein sued an artist for trademark infringement for creating his own paint formulation of the blue color Yves Klein made famous.

If you believe artistic expression is more important than protecting a corporation’s claim to a color or concept (blue painted hands), donate to Stuart Semple’s GoFundMe.

@yamuis @Shadedlady @SandraDeHaan De reden waarom Mickey Mouse erop staat, heeft denk ik hiermee te maken: https://www.rtl.nl/nieuws/economie/artikel/5427284/disney-mickey-mouse-auteursrecht-copyright-publiek-domein

Het is #Disney jarenlang gelukt om de duur van copyright ellenlang te verlengen, tot zelfs na 70 jaar na de dood van de maker en zelfs tot 95 jaar na publicatie of 120 jaar na creatie.

Mickey Mouse is van ons allemaal: auteursrecht vervallen

Het auteursrecht op Mickey Mouse is vervallen en dat levert nu al flink wat andere interpretaties op van de wereldberoemde muis. Zo zijn er al een horrorfilm- en game in de maak. Maar aan het gebruik van het personage zitten heel wat haken en ogen en daardoor houdt Disney nog een flinke vinger in de pap. "Disney en Mickey zijn zeker niet verloren."

Piracy will exist as long as #corporate #greed will exist.

If it was my decision #Copyright and #patents would be contingent on the #media / #technology being produced and offered for sale.

  • In fact I think every #claim for #losses should be tossed by any #judge whenever there was no #legal way to obtain a new copy of some content.

Espechally since we live in the #AgeOfAbundance and nowadays the cost for distributing even a #AAA #Game or #Movie is merely the cost of #Storage and #Bandwith, so at worst a whole Euro if we're talking #PayAsYouGo - #Akamai with no minimums to get stuff distributed.

  • We'd be in the single digit cents if we use #P2P technology like #BitTorrent and #IPFS to keep stuff available.

TIL: Stealing someone's photos and then putting them up on your own website -- and then filing DMCA complaints against the person you stole the photos from -- is a thing.

I am not in any way suggesting I am surprised by this but I have to admit it was not top of mind.

One can really see this is an older video, as it misses not only #0BSD between #PublicDomain and #MIT but also #SSPL right of #AGPLv3 in a tab that's right of it called "#AssetDenial" or "#Monopolistic" or just "#AssholeLicensing" and a tab right of that for "#SourceAvailable" licensing, but I get ahead of myself...
