Uh AI steals everyone’s work. How it’s legal I’ll never know.

because it was ruled to be a transformative work, like how someone making a video essay on a book/game/movie is (sometimes) not violating copyright.

I saw this ruling and fully disagree.

So if I modify someone else’s art and call it my own, the courts will respect this precedent and let me go?
Replying to @blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works
if you have enough lawyers and the art ia substantially different (different inteded use) they might

You got downvoted but this is just true lol
(Fuck AI slop though)

If AI continues to be treated as transformative work, there should also be a valid case to kill licensing requirements for sampling music. After all, there you’re literally using small clips of someone’s music or similar to make undeniably new art.

To be fair, that should have happened a long time ago. Copyright law hasn’t been fit for purpose for a long time.
