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.

Says the dude who completed a song using AI.

I'm plenty open to questioning every part of copyright (has the idea ever actually been proven to be worth the enormous costs? It's like an infinity-percent tariff on anything information related.) but the same copyright should apply to everbody. It sounds like this proposal gives a specific pass to corporations developing AI - anything these corporations can access should be accessible to the general public as well. If you can use a song to train an AI for free, a human artist should also be allowed to use it directly and turn it into a new work.

Paul McCartney and Dua Lipa should release a song together.

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

Disband Copyright

Ahh. Paul McCartney. Looks like Lemmy has finally found a billionaire it likes.

I'm sure it is The Beatles' activism for social change that won people over. Who could forget their great protest song "The Taxman", bravely taking a stand against the 95% tax rate. Truly, the 60ies were a time of liberation.
