@cliffjones "no, see, sampling is only a crime if poor, non-white people do it; if it's a megacorp doing the sampling, it's called progress!"

@rysiek @cliffjones I would say it's more like the difference between Weird Al doing a parody of a song (which is more akin to sampling in your metaphor) vs. Weird Al doing a pastiche/style parody of another artist (which is more akin to A.I. art).

@IronCurtain @rysiek @cliffjones it’s not really comparable to either of those examples, because 1) Weird Al doesn’t require actual copies of the songs he parodies to produce his own music, 2) AI-generated art is not considered parody, which is often granted a fair-use exception to copyright, and 3) Weird Al is not computer software.

@jepyang @IronCurtain @rysiek @cliffjones "Weird Al is not computer software." I'm not sure this is true.

@Bmcraec @jepyang @IronCurtain @rysiek @cliffjones I now want a Weird Al song exploring this possibility.

@ocdtrekkie @jepyang @IronCurtain @rysiek @cliffjones I'm sure he's up for the challenge, though I cannot imagine which existing song would fit the bill.

@jepyang @IronCurtain @rysiek @cliffjones My brain just realized. Weird Al as RoboCop AND The T-827 terminator model. Accordion not included.
