I like this practice of publicly airing out dirty laundry.

Not OP, but the answers are: 1. People can sue you for any reason, whether legitimate or not, regardless of what you do 2. Copying style is not copyright infringement, as copyright does not cover style

I'm glad someone else said this. Hopefully we can get rid of that terrible disruptive camera too.

With twitter posts, you have it easy because it was 95% trash before AI. You'll definitely have a lot of problem with other content though.

Why was it so surprising? Society as a whole is only functional because most people are uninterested in causing mayhem for no reason.

Crypto threads are only allowed in HN if there's a good opportunity to shit on crypto. I jest, but there's a significant number of users here who would agree.

Sovereign citizen activities basically have no correlation with intelligence or political views. It's such a strange category of weirdness.

Based on how I've seen people describe China, they have a lot of "vertical slicing" going on: the parts that are good look really good and impressive, but the parts that are bad are extremely bad. They will do whatever is pos

I'm not saying it'd be good for HBO to do that, only that they could. Regardless of whether or not they should, edge cases like GoT's success should not control the outcome for everyone and everything else.

Of course. There's all kinds of propaganda (and depending on where you stand, some propaganda is good and other propaganda is bad), and not one person is immune. But for the sake of this discussion, there are some extra factors to cons

I was speaking in response to most of the general "pervasive negative attitudes" mentioned, not you specifically. Although I'm curious where you viewed generative AI content repeatedly 5 years ago; it was effectively non-exis

The point of copyright is to promote the creation of new works. It has nothing to do with the popularity of the work under copyright or after entering the public domain. Mickey Mouse was still relevant at the time of entering the public dom

People repeat "generative AI is all evil garbage" because that's what the media (which is very afraid of AI, might I add) has told them. It's also funny to see AI turn people who normally dislike copyright into die-hard

It is not inherently, but people are very effective at using it to produce foul, unpleasant output, which is a temporary problem. Like almost all things, people will not actually care how they're made if the final product is good.

Many things are only popular for a relatively short period of time. If someone wants to wait until the copyright period is over to do an adaptation, the source material may no longer be that popular, and the adaptation, even without having

It does mean that, and I think that's just something that would have to be accepted. Disney's empire is built on adaptations of public domain stories, after all.

In the case of Adobe, you're paying for continuous updates and their added cloud services (or other functionality which requires their servers). Also Adobe's subscription pricing (per-month) is significantly less than the retail c

There are a few reasons why copyright terms aren't shortened: * International treaties make it difficult without buy-in from everyone, or at least the most important countries. The USA is probably the only country that could afford to

I'm going to designate this as the obligatory "copyright is far too long" subthread. In my opinion, the ideal length (if we are to have copyright) is between 10 and 15 years, at least if a work is already monetarily successfu

I think that's still too long when copyright was originally supposed to be a compromise between society and the author, not a indefinite guarantee for an author. I understand the concern of providing for family, but keep in mind that t
