It’s hard to feel sympathetic for Disney when they have more money than god.
In this case that's exactly what we need, someone with more money than god that can set precedents to protect the authors and artists that need it the most.
Disney is not going to protect authors and artists.
Correct. If anything, Disney is only fighting somebody else exploiting their employees so they can protect their right to exploit their employees.
American law works on precedents, this will be one
It doesn’t matter it was the evil empire getting that result
It does if it only benefits evil empires. The open source tools can't afford the price which only leaves the big AI companies that can and Disney who holds the data.
All this will do is add a fat price tag and censorship. Artists will not get paid and AI will not go away, the jobs will still be lost. It's the worst of both worlds.
So you really think now that Meta pirated all possible books (and argued they just didn’t seed them) the normal guys will get the same treatment?
Has someone sued Meta for that and has the court given a precedent?
There are solid gold or platinum asteroids out there, but God only gave us the resources of earth in the bible.
So God is definitely richer than Disney.
And they just fired Terry Moran for the mildest tweet critical of the current administration imaginable.
I legit just cancelled my Disney+/hulu/espn account over it.
