    ‘Copyright’ was always insane nonsense, only made up so Capitalism could work. Imagine a world without all the Capitalist market nonsense. Everything is sharable/reusable except ‘personal space’. Nobody have heard of ‘copy-right’. Then imagine someone whistling a tune, and claiming that that specific tune “IS MINE!” and starts to punk others for money or favors when they whistle what they have just heard.

    OC that guy got the whistle technology from others, but he’ll hand-wave that fact because he’s stupid. He also got the tones from others and most likely he just re-whistled what someone else had already done (open source whistle), or he just re-mixed something others had whistled before, because we mix everything old, and build similar versions - all the time.

    This insane person would be laughed out of society for such an exceptionally psychopathic and stupid idea.

    …but in this current society, the Capitalist nightmare, it is completely normal to claim ownership of everything you find, touch, or do - even if you used others free work to do it (AI training ?!) - and then everybody else MUST PAY YOU ! Oc, even if normal people all agree that copyright is a psychopaths dream, they will have to play the Capitalist game, or perish… Be a good guy - stop the ridiculous game !

    Good. The US made the same decision a little while ago. I’m waiting to see how the courts decide on AI generated code. That’ll be funny when all these companies realize they don’t own their code base anymore.

    On one side that sounds reasonable, on the other side, Russian rule of law only partially exists, as long as it is not in the way of the regime. So yeah, whatever.

        Lucky for the regime then that the FSB is having competences for allmost anything, by law even. Even way broader than the Trump SA. But yeah I am sure everywhere else is surely just as bad. I heard it on RT.

      Russian law exists as long as the room you’re in doesn’t have a window high enough to accidentally fall out of & die.
