    I don’t care about copyrights. I care about content.

    Every paid artist could disappear. Content will still be created. Probably better content and products then anything created under any copyright and IP as is now.

      If we didn’t have copyright then people wouldn’t be able to justify putting effort into creating content because they wouldn’t be guaranteed financial compensation for the time and effort they put in.

      Everything costs money, If I’m writing a novel I still have to pay the bills I still have to buy groceries I still have to pay for water and electricity I need to be compensated for my time.

        The irony of saying this on Lemmy. Lemmy is piece of software developed and distributed for free to people who host it for free. If somebody truly wants to make something they will create it even without profit incentive.

        I have needs and wants as well. I hope you get paid well. But when you stand in the path of something I think to be progress then we conflict. I don’t believe I’m endorsing someone stealing your work and profiting. I just believe that we all should have access to information to do what we want and build off it. Instead we have a world where Facebook trademarks the word face. Where the birthday song is owned by a company and can’t be used in other content. Where we can’t play mini games within load screens

          I’m not standing in your path of success, fiscal reality is. If you want your utopia future by all means, but you need to actually come up with a solution.

          Making naive comments online isn’t a stance, it’s just declaring to the world you don’t know what you’re talking about.

            I know what I want. I don’t have to care that you think you should stand in the way of people creating new things. If they’re not copying your work then it’s not a problem. If they buy your book and use it to train an AI that is ethically fine. I don’t support the growth of intellectual property laws.

            And I don’t buy for a second that the world is a better place with artists all fighting to be the next best seller or financially stable painter. The world will turn people will create and I’ll argue until I day I die that the best content ever is the stuff nobody is looking to profit from. That’s the stuff that is actually created from a place that’s pure creativity

              So the best books are the ones that never get published? The Best music is free on Soundcloud? The best movies are freely available on Peertube?

              Your realize that in order to achieve greatness in a field it takes time, if artists can’t live from their art because anyone is free to just make copy of it and to sell it and keep the profit to themselves then instead of making art they’ll have to find another job instead.

              You might believe that AI will replace them, but AI doesn’t understand what it’s doing it just regurgitates stuff until the person asking for it finds it good enough. It lacks the will to generate emotions in the viewer or listener.
