AI art steals from the poor and has no place in modern society
  • Half the time its not even unauthorized. "What do you mean this website I uploaded to whose TOS allows them to license out my images licensed out my images??"

    I got into photography for a while ages ago when I was in highschool and even back then for my shitty landscape photos I was keenly aware of which hosting services respected my rights as copyright holder, apparently that's too high of a bar to clear for many semi-professional artists. Now the models that did just scrape anything and everything, yeah that's outright copyright theft. And how much you care about copyright theft is something else entirely.

  • Lakota elders helped a white man preserve their language. Then he tried to sell it back to them.
  • Granted the tribe should have gotten some free copies for their participation.

    They did. The LLC distributed over a million dollar's worth of material for free and also the elders that worked with the LLC were directly paid for their time.

  • Lakota elders helped a white man preserve their language. Then he tried to sell it back to them.
  • "My grandmother was paid to recite material, it's literally theft of my heritage that I, her grandchild, do not own the distribution rights to that specific recording"

    If they were trying to copyright the stories or the language that would be one thing but it's just their recordings and material they've produced. He probably shouldn't have used his position at the school as part of his slander campaign if he didn't want to risk losing it. If there was no professional misconduct then his licensure isn't at much risk.

    All he had to do to avoid consequences was not double down on saying "a non-profit paying someone to talk into a microphone is literally theft in a criminal sense". If he wants to ignore a reasonable cease and desist so he can continue to lie about a nonprofit he should pay his own legal fees about it.

  • “No matter how it was collected, where it was collected, when it was collected, our language belongs to us. Our stories belong to us. Our songs belong to us,” Taken Alive,

    Ok sure you can say that but when somebody receives payment in exchange for being recorded reciting a story signs over the rights to the recording you, the grandchild of the person who actually did the performance for the recording, do not own the rights to that recording.

    If you actually read the SDDE complaint (link from the fundraiser) or the C&D they're pretty damning. This guy sucks, don't give him money.

    *You should especially not give him money because this legal fund is for a hearing that happened a year ago and he never turned off the fundraiser lol

  • He'll be living with this for the rest of his life
  • Yeah that's incredibly rude to waste that much of someone's time because you're too selfish to just pay attention to the road. 'I want to look at my phone for 10 more seconds so I'm going to make a stranger lose 3 minutes of their day' is absurdly selfish.

  • He'll be living with this for the rest of his life
  • Except it's not "1 second" you're costing people minutes of their time when you prevent multiple additional cars from making the green because you're too selfish to just pay attention to the light.

  • How a Toronto police complaints officer belittled a criticism about bike lanes — and why advocates say it’s a problem
  • “When you do see a police car in the bike lane and they walk out of a Tim Horton’s, that’s not a good look,” she said. “I personally think that those police officers should be held accountable because that’s not right. But again, it’s not my job to police the police.”

    Your job title is "parking enforcement officer" who the fuck else is going to do it
