- cush 3y ago> it will be circumvented How so? Circumvention would be illegal. Sure there might be a black market, but you couldn’t scale a real business off it.

- wddkcs 3y agoHow is THC being 'legally' sold even in states where it is illegal? Government in the US has proven too inefficient to handle the speed of marketplace innovation. You can't outlaw ingenuity.
- cush 3y agoI don’t think there’s any value in comparing copyright with American drug laws. They’re not remotely similar and drug law in America is one of the most politically controversial arenas one can enter. A much more fair comparison would be existing copyright law, which provides avenues for ownership without the ability to create new derivative works. It’s possible to expand these laws.

- cush 3y agoSo what? Weed has had popular support for 60 years… You’re giving an example of a law that has very slowly changed across America and arguing that laws are very slow to change. It’s just irrelevant to this conversation. You’re talking about the supply/demand of pot while I’m talking about the economic consequences of copying human work without compensation. I agree ChatGPT is popular. So what? Certain refrigerants and aerosols were very popular. Then we found they were blowing a hole in the ozone layer, so they were regulated. Popular things are sometimes regulated.

I'm unsure what kind of edge it would give to do an unethical/illegal employee review, credit rating, investment portfolio etc etc but if it only seems like it would give an advantage people will do it.
- cush 3y agoAgree. You're talking about Piracy. Yes it will exist (just like today), but not at a scale that would make any economic difference (just like today).
