How could one ever define a threshold in similarity between a living person and some AI resembling that living person?
- ukoki 2y agoIndeed. What happens if you license the AI likeness of a George Clooney impersonator?
- Cheer2171 2y agoProbably just like the 1988 case where Ford hired a Bette Midler impersonator for a commercial. Ford lost. If you impersonate someone without their consent for commercial gain, you're going to have a bad time. None of this is new. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midler_v._Ford_Motor_Co https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midler_v._Ford_Motor_Co
- llamaimperative 2y agoBy going to court and seeing what a judge and jury think, same as how you define countless other wrongdoings.
- raxxorraxor 2y agoGoing to court doesn't seem to be the common solution to DMCA conflicts. Capital will just abuse those that they perceive as copying their content. Nobody should have any illusion about media companies handling such cases.
- llamaimperative 2y agoIf there's a dispute then yes, DMCA complaints go to courts. Obviously there's a separate problem (in every section of law) where more moneyed interests can just deter or engage in a battle of attrition via our courts, but this has nothing to do with the ambiguity that GP was referring to.
- raxxorraxor 2y agoI believe you can argue that the damage done by DMCA surpass its protective mission. The EFF has a thorough list of abuses. But no, if you don't have access to a legal department, DMCA complaints often do not go to court either and these are the undocumented cases. There are some instances where large companies like Google defend a user in their stead. Because they have a legal department. Damage > protection, so DMCA is just a continuation of a broken copyright law. I see this law hitting in a similar direction, but that remains to be seen.
- llamaimperative 2y agoSure, none of this is relevant to the question of how a society enforces laws that require some type of interpretation: they go to court.
- raxxorraxor 2y agoI disagree that this was the extent of the question here. It is relevant to determine the quality of the law. It is also relevant to determine the prevalence of legal certainty. If the latter is low, you involve the courts. I just remarked that this is not a solution for a bad idea. The example of DMCA should make the relevance more vivid as there are a lot of parallels.
- llamaimperative 2y ago> It is also relevant to determine the prevalence of legal certainty. If the latter is low, you involve the courts This is not how/when/why courts get involved. And no, the law itself can be perfectly fine and the court system can be too slow. Mixing the two problems makes it impossible to solve when neither problem is actually impossible.
- DannyBee 2y agothis is exactly the kind of thing that juries resolve all the time.
