Sure. Facebook is still the data custodian, but it's been proven that the granularity of their targeting is so small that it's possible to target individuals - a la Cambridge Analytica and a few other studies. They're selling

Let's clarify - 3rd party tracking is the issue. Tracking me on your site is fine... it's expected. Spotify should build a profile of my musical tastes. But my profile on your site should be relegated to your site. Facebook not on

The vast majority of data gathered by Facebook isn't gathered on Facebook. The vast majority of that data isn't used by Facebook for delivering ads. The utility of Facebook is long lost. I'd gladly pay a few bucks to keep

Agree. 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).

Right, as I said it’s a mature industry. I feel like you just added to my point. Also I said in my comment it’s pennies per play. Ask a moderately successful writer how much they make on chatGPT. Oh wait it’s zero.

Okay… I feel you understand what I’m getting at but are super keen on nitpicking. I know copyright doesn’t mandate payment schedules. It’s a legal tool that prevents people from distributing derivative work without permission. Currently (mo

So 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 abou

I see what you’re saying. What kind of law or regulation would cover the rehashing of original content then? Isn’t that copyright law? It’s my understanding that published works in these fields would be covered by copyright law.

> People think everything is valuable By definition, a royalty is the sharing of already realized value. We don’t need to imagine what value may be realized, so the Roman Circus analogy isn’t necessary or accurate.

I 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 exi

Sure, and that licensed work was created by people. Those people should get paid upon the creation of new derivative work. That’s exactly what copyright law is.

I do. The royalty system for music, TV, and movies are all actually quite mature - artists receive a few pennies per play. It adds up quick and can easily make a living on royalties. And why would that be the ceiling? AI only expands their

If copyright law doesn’t take a massive leap forward in the next year, AI is going throw a wrench in our entire economy. The creative humans that trained these models deserve attribution, compensation, and royalties. The ongoing AI era is

I wonder if there’s a conflict between companies being willing and able to produce natural rubber tires yet marketing them would also implicate themselves in knowingly destroying the environment. It’s a tough line to straddle.
