Comment on Internet Archive’s big battle with music publishers ends in settlement
duhlieluh@lemmy.zip 1 day agoi think that should be a given but it does not solve peoples work being taken and mutilated by an algorithm.
certainly takes incentive out of it for someone that wants to use it for a production, but im sure there are ways they would get around it.

You’re right that it’s not a complete solution. Offhand, it seems like this won’t help graphic designers that make advertising graphics if the advertiser doesn’t really care about copyright protection - or basically anything that is expected to have a short lifespan (who cares if an ad campaign that runs for a week is copyrighted?).
Are those jobs worth fighting over? There are probably a lot more graphic artists making a living producing bilboards and web ads &etc than there are making a living selling their own art, but are those jobs something that society at large should make an effort to protect?
