Can they still try the Corporations Are People angle?
- kopecs 2y agoIn what way do you think corporate personhood is relevant here?
- pnut 2y agoObviously corporations are a legal fiction and not biological human entities with inherent intelligence and agency. They are tools to enable the wills of specific human beings, so the comparison seems fair?
- kopecs 2y agoWhat comparison do you think the parent comment is making? They just vaguely gesture at corporate personhood and say "what about that?" My best reading of it is "can 'they' say that corporations can author works?" and excepting works for hire, no, "they" can't.
- ourmandave 2y agoTo subtle I guess. The point being, where I live, the Jan 6th Committee was anti-tourist, socialized healthcare = communism, every day mass shootings are unsolvable, shitcoins are Federal Reserve notes, and Corporations Are People. So in that system, with enough lawyers, lobbyists, and money, it's only a matter of time before some judge rules that AI = Rembrandt.
