Copyright and license laws for you, not for me. This is the biggest theft ever.
Intellectual property are rights for the rich. A perversion of science and art used to commercialize our culture. Creating artificial scarcity while denying that all science and art are built from copying and iterative development.
We could abolish it completely and it would cause an explosion of creativity and innovation like we have never seen before.
Yeah, nah. While copyrights are a problem as they're currently employed, removing them would screw every content creator on the planet. Most of us don't make much as it is, with only a few making a living from our work. Removing copyright would allow anyone to take what we produce without any compensation.
The corporations would love that.
Content creators are not protected by copyright unless they have anywhere between $50k-300k and months of their time to waste an litigation.
The average cost for a federal copyright case is $278,000. Let's stop pretending this is for the little guy.
Most importantly you are only looking at the utility of Intellectual property to make money. Art and science exist outside this realm for thousands of years without it.
We are to sacrifice the way science and art have always worked so supposedly content creators can make money. If this is your argument I will have to take a hard pass.
In theory, the law applies to everyone. In practice, it doesn't apply to rich entities.
How opt-out will work in practice:
Not sure if this was on purpose, but it seemed quite appropriate
It's Lisa looking at a sign that reads:
"Keep Out"
"Or Enter. I'm a sign, not a cop."
I'm not from England, but damm this is absolutely terrible. England already has a LOT of cameras everywhere to track people. They work hard to try and track people everywhere. Hence why this is scary cause this might actually go through due to how anti-privacy they seem to be.
They do track a lot, for no real good reason either. Most of the cctv systems you see are blurry, especially at distance, storage of high quality video takes a lot of space and money I guess. It’s a crime deterrent at best but lately most criminals don’t really give a damn, you see wannabe gangsters riding around on bicycles or scooters with balaclavas on, so the real criminals can blend right in with the wannabes. Police presence only seems to exist when football is being played also. This joke of a country could do with a reset button, probably been that way for a long time.

Don't forget about environmental protests!

Best can do drop the sun into parliament.
I support this if it applies to everyone, not just AI. We should be able to use everything that we see as well
Open source the planet.
Uk really is one of the worst countries with regards to privacy. Always trying to pass some shit that enables them to spy on you. Last year they wanted backdoors in all messengers, now this.
Well, not worse, than eu.
I'm fully down with this as long as any model that is trained on publicly accessible data follows these rules:
-
All media that is imported his cataloged, I want to know what's in the model
-
The weights are open
-
The model is made publicly available.
I am all for publicly available models.
How do you opt out for already created content in the past?
Not interested enough to support corpo media please post it on peertube if you can. but from the headline: yikes! And I thought they were done with the most vile political idiocy.
If any rando can see it, the robot can see it.
eu also passed this law
Source?
