that's a very good point
macrovision was a DRM technique applied to DVDs
it worked by very slightly altering the signal such that humans wouldn't notice, but prevented VHS recorders from making a decent copy
macrovision removal devices were ruled as circumvention devices and hence illegal in both the US and EU
this poisoning approach is essentially the same idea as macrovision, with pretty similar intent
so I don't see why systematically removing it wouldn't count as circumvention
- pixl97 3y agoUh oh, you have a circumvention device right now then.... the print screen button.

Their objection to it being used to train AI is more nuanced than people think.
- pixl97 3y agoNot really. Their argument is "Hey, I looked at everyones art all my life and used that to build my internal model, but it's time for me to pull up the ladder behind me" Copyright is not about reading your art, it's about the creation of subsequent works that are some arbitrary measure of 'too close' to the work other people already created.
