  If an industry can’t survive without resorting to copyright theft then maybe it’s not a viable business.

  Imagine the industries that could exist if only they didn’t have to pay copyright holders. What makes this industry any different?

  Rules for thee, not for me.

  I thought copyright and patent laws were supposed to protect the little guy? Looks like as soon as they protect the little guy from big business, they stop mattering.

  I guess the useful idiots were wrong, again. Color me not-surprised.

  If asking for permission is going to kill an industry, then that industry should be killed.

    In principle I agree. The problem is that there are countries which don’t care about respecting law and if you kill AI in the West, all that will happen is the West will get left behind.

  Honestly not a bad thing, I mean you’re not going to OpenSource your AI so this is a good alternative

    No, it’s not like saying that.

    Please stop trying to use rape as a way to get an emotional response for something unrelated.

  Cool, so I’ll get started on building an automated business that sells cheap access to all the music, movies and shows on the streaming services.

  Getting consent for each title would basically kill my business and would be implausible, so I’ll just assume it’s ok.

  Kill the AI industry? Sweet. As an artist I do not consent.

  So I can steal all their shit too, right? It would “Implausible” for me to do so.

  If a business cannot survive without breaking the law, then it is not a business but a criminal organisation.

    Contrary to popular belief among useful idiots, copyright and patent laws are not there to protect the working class.

    If copyright and patent laws actually protected workers, why have we not seen rulers fight back against them until now?

    This should be eye-opening to most of you, but that would involve admitting you were wrong.

    Most people can’t do that.

  And not asking for it will kill the creative industries.

  What do you want, a few years of ai slop followed by the more or less rapid decline of the internet, that does afford the likes of Clegg (in his role of ‘meta’ executive) a huge payout, or creative people having any hope of a sustained ability to make a living?

    If it helps, he became a Facebook exec after losing his seat in the British Parliament.

    A good example of the revolving door, but at least it wasn’t the other way around…

  Oh, so it’d be ok to get movies, pictures, books, etc. without asking the right owners for us too? GREAT.

  correction: will kill people’s attempts to make billions out of other people’s art. Otherwise inquisitive people will continue to do non-profit research this way or another

  I have a proposition. Raid them with police and search their computers for stolen data like you would do with your citizens.
