By that logic most media consumption is unethical. Almost anything out of a major studio is made with the abuse of, underpayment of, and often even outright theft from small artists. I think a much better solution than not using them is to take all the money they made from it and redistribute it as universal basic income, then make the models 100% free to use. Cat's outta the bag, at this point I just wanna see the little guy get paid.

    Now we're on the same track. My goal is if we can't solve these problems entirely, at the least not contribute to the further exploitation and enclosure of our commons.

    This is one of the reasons I think copyright is a dead end — it's a tool of the enemy.
