Copyrights are toast for regular people who are up against companies laundering their work through AIs.
Copyrights for the megacorps are a different story. If you've ever wanted to see a clash of titans, wait until Microsoft's lawyers meet Disney's.
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 2y agoMicrosoft has the cash on hand to buy a controlling stake in Disney. Disney is about 5-6% of Microsoft considering market cap. We’d need an Apple v Microsoft battle that’s important enough for boards to demand full litigation.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Microsoft has the cash on hand to buy a controlling stake in Disney This is interesting, because it’s the M&A equivalent of people who think they can spend a bad candidate to elected office. I don’t know what the technical equivalent is, bigger-team fallacy? TL; DR money can buy power, but with diminishing marginal returns. Were Microsoft to try and control Disney, it would likely break first.
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 2y agoYou think Disney has the wherewithal to win a fight against Microsoft?
- reginald78 2y agoThere won't be a clash of lawyers. They'll come up with a settlement and cut will be paid, or they'll just put up special blocker just for them, like they already do with Tim Burton for image generation. Regular people will be essentially defenseless of course.
