Good news in hard times.

"AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified"

Here's the best part.

"Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say." 👈

'According to the groups, allowing copyright class actions in AI training cases will result in a future where copyright questions remain unresolved and the risk of "emboldened" claimants forcing enormous settlements will chill investments in AI.'

Oh, no! /snarky

@alcinnz @kevinrns so, why should #copyrightholders care about #AI-companies' bottomline?

I dont mean #copyright is perfect, I think the expirationdate is too damn long. But in contrast, if it cant even protect your work against becoming AI-trainingdatefood, what cán it protect against?!

@feike @kevinrns Exactly!

I'm no fan of copyright (especially DRM), but when the powerful aren't playing by the same rules as the rest of us... That is injustice!

@alcinnz @kevinrns well I think #creators must be able to #profit from their work, like #Franquin could sell his #commicbooks#SpirouEtFantasio#GastonLagaffe . If there aint no #copyrightlaw anyone could copy his #creation, and he couldnt make or would have made less money from it.
But like #patentlaw, #copyright must expire sometime, and not like #disney's #MickeyMouse who's been protected from being copied for #waltdisney's entire lifetime and 70 afterwards …

@alcinnz @kevinrns (2/2) #patents expire at like 10 years and are ment for #inventions, while #copyright is ment for #thoughts and #ideas and can be eazier to profit from than inventions , cause you dont need to persuade buyers of your invention's effectiveness, your thoughts just need to be appealing. So, im arguing for a #copyrightexpirationdate set at maximum 25 years
