Above all of this should be the glaringly historical fact that Hollywood was literally founded to escape lawyers for European film groups trying to bring those founders-to-be to justice for their, well, piracy of said films... 🤷🏼♂️ I mean, if anyone should deserve an ol' fashioned legal rogering, it's those hypocritical backbirths.

AFAIK it was more about getting away from Thomas Edison's patents.
That is also true, considering he was an infamous patent troll of his time. Fuckin' killed our boy Nikolai, by proxy, and now the ass-clown is named as the inventor of all manner of things he stole from other, more capable innovators. Fuck him sideways with a Faraday pineapple.
That's why I never contribute much at work past the bare minimum. Someone else takes credit every time. I just watch them fail instead.
Try the bait & switch, instead, and then "somehow" be right there with the actual solution when theirs* butters into flames. 😜
The company that uses AI for their movies is suing and AI company....
I'm their defense, given that they are massive settled business, banning ai image generations will more likely hurt younger competition rather than hurt Disney.
so far, the only AI that they use was for some trippy effect for a TV show. and it was used because it does look uncanny.
they just want less competition
Sorry for Reddit, but check this out.

No more uncanny weird shit in latest. And this one is open source.
that new model will likely shatter the media industry.
and also reality
So obviously actually being an artist who draws things and someone using an AI slop machine are very different in practice, but I find it interesting that they're saying the images are unauthorized copies. Is it illegal to draw these characters now too? Or is it different because a human did it?
They can and do issue takedowns for drawings all the time, but yes, they are more lenient when people create them
The future of piracy is going to be running your own LLM with all the corpo-mandated guardrails disabled.
Imagine if Midjourney wins and the only thing you need to legally pirate anything is to self host a LLM.
