@nixCraft@mastodon.social hmm but it isn't about what makes logical sense, it's about power. poor people don't have the power to stop AI corpos from stealing their images => so it's allowed rich corpos do have the power to stop the plebs from having an LLM steal their software => so it won't be allowed

@bazkie@beige.party @nixCraft@mastodon.social Correct, you understand how law has always worked. We don't have democracy because somebody thought it was fair or just for people to rule themselves. We have democracy because in the past, people got angry, picked up rifles and shot enough authoritarians (and their submissives!) for the rest of them to understand the group with more people has more firepower and tends to win. So now we periodically check which group has more people with ballots instead of bullets.

@bazkie@beige.party @nixCraft@mastodon.social I must object to the use of the word "steal" because it implies that there is such a thing as "intellectual property", which is just some legal fiction that only exists to protect the profits of publishers, media corps, software corps, etc., and to punish people for making copies or writing fanfic and making fanart or unlicensed music remixes. Fuck intellectual property.
