They are just illegally selling us off as slaves. That is what is happening. All our fault for not having strong citizen watchdogs, clamping down on this behavior.

Oh good I see Labour are dealing with the real issues in society.

Modern Labour and not giving a fuck about workers, name a more iconic duo.

I mean they were trained on copyrighted material and nothing has been done about that so...

So abolish copyright law entirely instead of only allowing theft when capitalists do it.

It only seems to make a difference when the rich ones complain.

On the other hand copyright laws have been extended to insane time lengths. Sorry but your grandkids shouldn't profit off of you.

It's never the grandkids. The Beatles sold the rights to their songs.

I'm naming my torrent client "AI" and now I have the right to download a car.

I wonder how they decided which artist to include in the thumbnail image.

[–] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Moneys decided it. No one is going to click on a image for a old wrinkly white guy

[–] K3zi4@lemmy.world 179 points 1 day ago (49 children)

In theory, could you then just register as an AI company and pirate anything?

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

You can already just pirate anything. In fact, downloading copyrighted content is not illegal in most countries just distributing is.
