@briankrebs@infosec.exchange Lots of "fun" collecting from those 15 year olds who by never working under their real names and not using the banks can put any money they make later out of reach of the courts. A strategic bankruptcy was also an effective move in some cases. From my understanding most filesharing lawsuits never collected a dime. Here's an example: RIAA thugs sued a 20 year old and "won" over $600,000, only to be left holding the bag and the legal bills after their target filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy with zero assets. All of the judgment was discharged, the copythugs got zero. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_Music_Entertainment_v._Tenenbaum_(2009) From my position, copyright is not the argument against AI, rather the wholesale gulping of water, electricity, and computer parts is. I will only accept a copyright claim if a product damaged by being passed through AI (or used in ads etc) manages to saturate the market and kill the popular perception of the original.
