"there's a nuanced difference between owning your likeness and owning a drawing of your likeness..."

CileTheSane ,
@CileTheSane@kbin.social avatar

You just proved you don’t understand the nuance I’m talking about.

Translation: "I don't have a rebuttal for your argument so I'm going to pretend it's off topic."

If you actually had an argument to make you would explain how the nuance was misunderstood and clarify what you meant. "You clearly don't understand" just screams that you don't have any foundational arguments for your claims.

You want to us to stay on topic?

Judge Beryl A Howell of the DC Circuit Court upheld a US Copyright Office ruling that works created by “AIs” are not eligible for copyright protection.

A work not being eligible for copyright protection does not mean it nullifies existing protections. If someone uses AI to generate an image of Ronald McDonald punching Mickey Mouse in the face and tries to sell it on a shirt they will get sued by both McDonald's and Disney and they will lose easily.

"The courts have declared I don't own the copyright for this" is not a defense for using protected images.

This is on the same level as "You can rob a store then when the cops come to your house say you were never there. They can't arrest you if you weren't at the scene of the crime."

Lying is not a legal defense.

Just catching up to the where I was in the first place? The argument you were so insistent was wrong and proved I "Didn't understand"?

CileTheSane ,
@CileTheSane@kbin.social avatar

So you admit that I do own my likeness now?

CileTheSane ,
@CileTheSane@kbin.social avatar

Hey, good on you for learning things and admitting you were wrong.

Next time avoid statements like "stay on topic. You just proved you don’t understand the nuance I’m talking about" and you won't look like such an ass when you actually read the article and realize you were wrong in the first place.

Except you're not passing a machete to Jason Voorhees. That would be "double it and pass it to the next person who you know is going to pull the lever."

You're passing a machete to the next person in line. You don't know who that is. They may or may not pass the machete down the line. Considering I would not expect a person chosen at random to kill someone when handed a machete, it seems unethical for me to kill someone with a machete just to prevent handing it to someone else.

People will presure companies not to allow it. "I will not purchase your product because it is helping fund hate speech"

It doesn't matter that the company did not choose to place the ad there. The ad being there gives money to platform that they are recieving because of hate speech.

AP Psychology effectively banned in Florida because of gender, sexuality chapter (www.usatoday.com)

Florida superintendents have been advised by the state’s education agency to nix their Advanced Placement Psychology classes unless they exclude any topics related to gender or sexuality, according to a press release from The College Board....

Here's hoping the trial ends just a little after Trump is declared the Republican nominee. Pretty sure insurrection makes him ineligible, and it will show how many Republicans support a traitor (not that we don't already know or it would make much of a difference to their supporters...)

Public trial right? Pretty sure it's in the public interest to let everyone witness the trial.

CileTheSane ,
@CileTheSane@kbin.social avatar

If there's no consequences for Trump it just signals to the next Republican president that there is no risk to them trying to do it again.

I have taught my cat that the words "my spot" mean she has approximately 5 seconds to move on her own or I will pick her up and put her on my lap when I sit there. She knows where I sit and where she can sit if she doesn't want to be disturbed.

It's not just Trans people, it's people who aren't masculine or feminine enough. The bigots are fine with this.

Netflix is forgetting that a large part of their success was due to being more convenient than piracy.
When prices went up a lot of people kept their subs because they didn't want to kick family members off of it that they were sharing with.

If Netflix becomes less convenient than piracy and no one else is using my account I see no reason to keep it

Corona wasn't supporting the virus, it just happened to have the same name. If Corona experienced any loss of sales because of the name then people are incredibly stupid.
