Make DEVELOPERS pay a subscription and remind them they don’t actually own the content voice actors lease to them?

How diabolically just.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago

The actors better start setting that shit up, because in a few short years only voice actors with work will be the ones leasing their voice. But give it 20 and they want even need them either. They have deep fakes that are just as good. Fucking sad we all love the robots taking our jobs, but we meant Fucking hard labor and factory work not the arts.

Let robots that don't experience emotions or pain take away the dangerous, backbreaking stuff. Not the safe jobs people do because they love them. Whose idea was this in the first place? Why the arts anyways, I thought "starving artist" was a phrase for a reason, is there really that much money to be made here?

Art is incredibly valubable, other than wars most of the stuff we remember about past situations is some kind of art (statues, stories, graffiti) Artists on the other than have no percieved value whatsoever.

Course they do. So do users, nah? Files are files. Once you give someone info you can't really take it back.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

You can't take it back. What you can do is have a trademark of sorts and sue anyone using it without your permission for damages, which if won, is a lot more than it would have cost them to just pay the sub.

Meh that sucks. There was a mod for ME3 that gave Miranda more of a role and it used the voice files from the game as source material for AI training for dialogue in the mod. Having that be hampered because of some DRM loicense so the Hollywood people can buy more mansions isn't something I'd like to see.

The idea is not to have a subscription for having the content. As you say, it's just files.

The licence, should be for the ability to create new files based on the actors voice.
