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.

If Disney wants to stop me from using genAI or pirating, they can pry it out of my cold, dead hands.

Intellectual property is a myth, copyright is nothing more than calling dibs, and neither have enough merit for me to give a shit about either. Once an idea exists and is released into the public, it’s mine to use however I want. And use it I will, regardless of whatever the artists or developers who made it think.

The company that uses AI for their movies is suing and AI company....

Big tech about to erupt into a civil war over whether or not they got into the AI slop bubble early.

Imagine if Midjourney wins and the only thing you need to legally pirate anything is to self host a LLM.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

AFAIK, you don't actually need actually need an LLM to do it, as long as you do what Meta did and not upload anything at all. The one who did the copyright infringement is the one who supplied the data to you.

[–] dumnezero@piefed.social 6 points 13 hours ago

If Midjourney wins, other media corporations are going to host bigger and better LLMs and do the pirating. The "prompters" who think that they're being fighting corporations are the best corporate tools.

[–] Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works 23 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

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?

[–] Sebastrion@leminal.space 9 points 11 hours ago

I'm pretty sure it is illegal but tolerated. If drawing is legal, I don't understand why Fan game's are illegal then.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 10 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

It has always been an infringement to draw their characters lol (apart from fair use which doesn't apply to most works)

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 20 points 16 hours ago

The argument could be made that because the image generator is essentially a regurgitator with no artistic interpretation, there is no transformative artistic value in it. It's like applying a filter with extra steps.

Also the generators charge for access, so they are profiting off of the IP. That's quite different to making something for personal use or releasing it for free.

[–] yukichigai@lemmy.sdf.org 28 points 22 hours ago

The future of piracy is going to be running your own LLM with all the corpo-mandated guardrails disabled.

Disney is insufferable. Also another reason to have these models as open source and downloadable. They won't be able to really take it down.

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 28 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I guarantee they're also adding AI slop trained on other people's work into their own content, while simultaneously suing anyone who does the same with theirs.

Fuck Disney

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 6 points 17 hours ago

This is the thing... Adding insult to injury, the outcome of this is going to be (if it plays in Disney's favor) a paid model in which generating characters resembling Disney's will cost extra. So they will steal and profit

That was Hitler's Wednesday afternoon routine and why it's still known as Hump Day, IIRC.
