I have not followed this at all. Seems okay at face value. Is that the point, that “protect the kids” a is pretext to creep towards eventual screening of everything?

The meme says the big internet companies are already doing this. Isn’t it a legit problem that this sort of harmful child sexual abuse material just moves around the internet like whack-a-mole?

The Democratic nations of the world have all gone to Telegram and begged for help to address human trafficking, to address terrorism, to literally prevent wars, and they are told to fuck off. Seems criminal to me.


I think they are considered derivative, and are not protected. Not that he wasn’t creative, just that his work wasn’t so creative to be independently copyrightable. I’m a little rusty on my IP law.


AI generated content cannot be copyrighted because it is not the product of creativity, but the product of generative computing.

This article is about a lawsuit that sounds in unjust enrichment, not copyright. Unjust enrichment is an equitable claim, not a legal claim, and it’s based on a situation in which one party is enriched at the expense of another, unjustly. If an AI company is taking content without permission, using it to train its model, and then profiting off its model without having paid or secured any license from the original artists, that seems pretty unjust to me.

If you’re at all interested in how the law is going to shake out on this stuff, this is a case to follow.


No, AI does not create new derivative transformative works. Copyright law is very clear that the thing that is copyrightable is that modicum of creativity, reduced to a tangible medium of expression, that society must encourage and protect.

Derivative works need even more creativity to be protectable than original works because it has to be so newly creative as to be a different work, transformative, even though the original may still be very recognizable.

An AI system does not have creativity. At best, it could mimic someone who is creative, but it could never have creativity on its own. It is generative, not creative.

It’s like that monkey that took a nice picture, but the picture was not copyrightable because the person seeking to enforce the copyright didn’t create the work. It’s creativity that the Constitution seeks to encourage by the copyright clause.




People sitting at home 3D printing guns aren’t happy? Who could have guessed.


Proclaimed Xenomor, as he addressed the federation.



Childless young people downvoting this, perhaps not able to admit they’re just like mom or dad?

For most of us I’m sorry but it’s true! Kids are mirrors; apples don’t fall far from trees. Not all of them. Some carry.



YouTube is unwatchable for me with all these ads. Even without ads, content creators mostly all follow the same generic bullshit format.

It used to be a great resource for visual aids and explanations, now it’s filled with money making schemes and scams and every video has 14 minutes of bullshit and 1 minute of content.




I’ve been car shopping lately and the number of cheap used Tesla’s is astounding. I see more in dealer inventories than I’ve ever seen on the road.


Can I still buy a dongle and Bluetooth into it and subscribe myself for free?


Doesn’t matter. It’s in the aether now that “Google promised Gmail won’t go anywhere,” so it will definitely be eliminated. People believing a Google product won’t be discontinued is the Google product kiss of death.


That’s plausible and I’m a little rusty on my IP here but I would call that a fair use. Derivative works use existing work in a new way, where the added creativity is sufficient to make the new work itself copyrightable.




Buddy, I wish they were going to pay this guy off. They’re going to hire $450 an hour lawyers and grind this guy into nothing with electronic discovery and paperwork until he takes a $10,000 settlement.


This case is absolutely bonkers. I posted about it a while back. The executives involved should be in prison.




Oh fuck off lending tree. Made up nonsense.

Edit: Why am I getting downvoted? Oh, Tesla bad? Yeah, Tesla bad. LendingTree bad too. It’s spin and propaganda for the mortgage industry. They publish clickbait “research” using non scientific metrics to reach whatever conclusion they set out to reach, usually it’s just shitting on blue states. They frequently reach the opposite conclusions of credible researchers with no explanation as to why they created their own formulas when perfectly valid, standard formulas exist.







Then they valued it like US drug cops. Oh yeah, one bag of misc. cables from someone’s junk drawer, that’s, uhh, $2,600,000, street value.


Jurisdiction and service are part of due process, and come from the Constitution.

Yeah, there’s probably a way.


Civil liability. You cannot sue in state court without personal jurisdiction over the maker, you know, in case they make a car with a fuel tank that explodes everytime you tap the fender or something. However, if they have a physical business footprint in the state, it’s fair to sue them there.

It would be the end of auto recalls, and soon after the end of auto safety in general, because the makers would force their cases into whatever singular federal court that they pick and just whittle away the law of product liability one case at a time, sort of like how Republicans file all their challenges to federal immigration laws in Brownsville, Texas. Elon Musk would love that.

E: I see we’re just downvoting things we don’t understand this morning because we don’t like car dealers. That’s discouraging. I’m encouraged by a 2021 Supreme Court case, Ford Motor Co. v. Montana that seems to have returned some sanity to personal jurisdiction in product liability cases. Still, a physical presence in the forum state, even if it’s by an independent dealership (not a requirement in all states)–which stands in the shoes of the maker due to its equitable and contractual privity–is the lodestar of personal jurisdiction. Without strong long-arm jurisdiction, regular people are further doomed to the recklessness and wilfull disregard by which manufacturers will sell products in order to maximize profit.


He’d be rolling in his grave if he saw the clickwrap agreements they have to get in a modern car now. Can’t start the ignition without sharing your personal data with the car maker and 799 of its “partners.”



I switched from Chrome and it was seamless. After a few weeks I didn’t notice any negative difference.
