After scraping all that #copyright, #bigai deserves this #karma. And We The People get all the open weight models. Hey, publishers are not your friends either, remember the #mpaa trying to send Moms to prison? #distillation is all kinds of comeuppance. #AI #LLM It all is leaking into the #publicdomain !!!

The Register

With the bar set extraordinarily high for NC-17 and AO for films and video games, the only reason for the MPA and the ESRB to apply those ratings is to condemn a work's contents, with the effect of damaging its commercial prospects, while at the same time making it seem mystical to all the daring. Who said anything about being informative?

As one being annoyed by this #PSA at the start of every #DVD from a certain era, this is a bloody great documentary about the people behind this anti-piracy ad and how hard it was to track down these guys from #Hollwood / #MPAA. Really worth a watch for every #film and #movie fan!

No one knows who made this anti-piracy ad (until now)

Perfect example on why I don’t give a fuck about #film ratings when I choose if my kid can see a film or not. There are no real comparable guidelines out there and they don’t know my kid better than me. My general rule of thumb is always go with the lowest rating though …

Why on earth are big #copyright companies so shitty? #Sony #MPAA etc etc. They think they are totally justified to just hit internet service providers with mostly wrong #AIslop infringement notices and have those ISPs do mass service cancellations. All because they need to defend their outdated broken business model that is hostile to digital media and the internet

#Cox is also a pretty bad company, but I'm very happy to support them as they are fighting this in court

Sony tells SCOTUS that people accused of piracy aren’t “innocent grandmothers”

Music companies want ISPs to terminate repeat infringers or pay big damages.
