Honestly this goes past let them fight for me, I have a clear preference in who wins
"Don’t worry. I’m gonna bleed em dry
I read this in a Mickey Mouse voice which really sells it
“Your honor, if my client isn’t able to plagiarize - their entire business model collapses…”
Not good for Mindjourney. The Mouse has “fuck you” money and lawyers on standby who kill people for less.
Guy they tried to arbitrate out of a settlement when he died because he signed up to Disney Plus comes to mind.
Disney tried to sue Paraguay’s Mickey S.R.L. (a food company) over copyright infrigement (their name is mickey and they literally use mickey as their mascot), but Disney lost the lawsuit because Mickey S.R.L. had actually copyrighted their design of mickey during the 1950s and it actually predates Disney’s own copyright of said design. The Supreme Court also argued that Disney had over 40 years to do something about it and did nothing now it was too late to actually do something about it. I think this is one of the rare cases where Disney got fucked and lost a lawsuit.
One of the few funny things that Adam Carolla has ever said is that there’s “fuck you” money and then there’s “fuck me” money. Disney has fuck me money and is willing to get into a war of massive attrition because you’ll bleed out before they do.
Reminder that the whole IP issue with AI training is a psyop aimed at controlling discourse so it’s entirely about ownership of property and who has claimed what licensing rights over hosted material, and never about labor or the consequences of an infinite lie machine that can churn out mountains of slop for next to nothing.
The end result of copyright law being overextended yet again won’t be “AI slop generators stop existing” because that’s not possible at this point when something like Flux can run on decade old GPUs and is widely available, it will be some techbros pay Disney a licensing fee to have their slop generator rubber stamped as a special good boy who respects corporate hegemony, and open source models get banned for not respecting the holy ownership of property enough. And then the case gets closed and AI slop generators with the special corporate good boy seal of approval on it get to replace workers and pour out slop to anyone who pays while the media claps and says how nice it is that property is being respected.
They’re missing a few notable infringers aren’t they?
From what I heard, no I didn’t fact check this, openai and them complied with the mouse’s demands. Also midjourney is a much easier target.
disney ruined the copyright law, took them long enough to do something about AI
Critical support to the mouse.
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
