Whether you pirate a movie or pay for it, it will be the same movie. Deepfakes can be used to put someone's face on pornographic material even though they don't want to be in those types of videos, or to make it seem like someone has said something they wouldn't ever say. I'm not really understanding how piracy and deepfakes are linked

There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

Wouldn't the same exact rationale also work for creative media, whether it's corporate or civilian?
No.
What you make is just as self-autonomous to you too, or so I would think.
No it's not, in any way shape or form. You're comparing impersonating a person and lying about what they're saying or doing, with copying or retelling a story you heard.
If you pirated a movie and edited to say something the original film maker or actors didn't want to say, and pretended like they said it, then it might be comparable.
The difference is between making a nondestructive copy of art, and harmfully impersonating another person. They are hardly comparable.
