Comment on AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified
Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 2 days agoThe purpose of copyright is to drive works into the public domain. Works are only supposed to remain exclusive to the artist for a very limited time, not a “century of publishing history”.
The copyright industry should lose this battle. Copyright exclusivity should be shorter than patent exclusivity.

Copyright companies losing the case wouldn’t make copyright any shorter.

Their winning of the case reinforces a harmful precedent.
At the very least, the claims of those members of the class that are based on >20-year copyrights should be summarily rejected.

Copyright owners winning the case maintains the status quo.
The AI companies winning the case means anything leaked on the internet or even just hosted by a company can be used by anyone, including private photos and communication.

The status quo is a giant fucking problem, and has been for decades.
The rest of your comment is alarmist nonsense.

Copyright owners are then the new AI companies, and compared to now where open source AI is a possibility, it will never be, because only they will have enough content to train models. And without any competition, enshittification will go full speed ahead, meaning the chatbots will now try to sell you stuff and you can’t choose a chatbot that doesn’t want to upsell you.
