@icedquinn and because the #USA treats ist's citizens as #Paypigs aka. #DebtPeons by making it artifically hard to near-impossible to denaturalize themselves and demanding #taxes even for those that neither reside in nor seek any servces from it nor get represented.

• Obviously #Cyberfacism and #criminalization of #VictimlessCrimes like #drugs & #sexwork add on top of that.

@shaknais @thomholwerda If those assumptions by @senficon were incorrect, then most people I know where lifetime #DebtPeons to the #CopyrightMafia as they learned most stuff not from #Schoolbooks but other media - mostly commercially licensed stuff...

• I.e. most millenials in Germany would owe TERFling royalities for learning English from her works.

And that's not even getting me started on how #Copywrong is irredeemably bad and should be abolished entirely because it's broken beyond salvageable...

• It's naive at best to entertain the idea that #FLOSS projects and #CC-licensed artworks will be given even a single percent of leverage that the #Copyright-#Mafia is flexing!

@csgraves @dragonarchitect @nixCraft @gearlicious no, you need to go to law school and actually check the #facts:

No #Copyright-able works can be generated without #Authorship and a machine isn't a natural #person, thus can't be an #author.

Also if we think all #learning is #CopyrightInfringement, then we all are #DebtPeons to the #Copyrightmafia starting the moment we read or consume any media, including #Schoolbooks!

Not that I'd call it "#AI" for what is essentially a #shitposting #Chatbot nor that I defend the #WastefulComputing done for that #BuzzwordDrivenDevelopment...

Cuz that's a #NuancedOpinion...
