Let's go baby! The law is the law, and it applies to everybody

If the "genie doesn't go back in the bottle", make him pay for what he's stealing.

    The law absolutely does not apply to everybody, and you are well aware of that.

    This would mean the copyright holders like Disney are now the AI companies, because they have the content to train them. That's even worse, man.

    It’s not because they would only train on things they own which is an absolute tiny fraction of everything that everyone owns. It’s like complaining that a rich person gets to enjoy their lavish estate when the alternative is they get to use everybody’s home in the world.

    do you know how much content disney has? go scrolling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assets_owned_by_the_Walt_Disney_Company e: that's the tip of the iceberg, because if they band together with others from the MPAA & RIAA, they can suffocate the entire Movie, Book and Music world with it.

    They have 0.2T in assets the world has around 660T in assets which as I said before is a tiny fraction. Obviously both hold a lot of assets that aren’t worthwhile to AI training such as theme parks but when you consider a single movie that might be worth millions or billions has the same benefit for AI training as another movie worth thousands. the amount of assets Disney owned is not nearly as relevant as you are making it out to be

    Until they charge people to use their AI.

    It'll be just like today except that it will be illegal for any new companies to try and challenge the biggest players.
