It already is applied aggressively to the point things that are covered under the DMCA both for fair use and transformative content is ignored and claims are made anyway. This special didn't exist and had to be created by the person who made it. Written by them. That's such a significant change that using their voice, something that can be mimicked, seems inconsequential to the law.
If someone can sing a cover of a Michael Jackson song and end up sounding exactly like Michael Jackson, is that copyright? Hell if someone wrote a brand new song and tried to sing it like Michael Jackson would and ends up being indistinguishable, is that illegal? This is the question that needs answering.
Actually cutting it up into another video makes it transformative and it's protected under the DMCA. Thank you for proving you don't know what you're talking about. Take care.
My fucking brother in Christ what you are advocating for is fascism. A "strong eats weak" mentality that has produced some of the worst human suffering we have ever recorded. Literally Nazi shit. USSR shit. Compromise is the difference between diplomatic solutions everyone can agree to, begrudgingly or not, and mass graves of men, women, and children of those who sought to disagree. Even capitulation is defined as "surrender with no resistance".
Imagine getting force fucked and taking massive losses over and over again because rather than mitigate some of the damage you just shrug because you couldn't mitigate all of it.
Imagine if we stopped sending food to starving people because "well we can't feed all of them so why try?" or stopped fighting climate change because "well we can't stop all the pollution from fossil fuels so may as well let them rape the planet." Jesus fuck I can't imagine what warped your mind that badly.
Pretending that there's a left wing equivalent to the rampant retardation of the right is the most bad faith comparison I've seen. This week.
Biden is left of the right but is still to the right of many progressives. We can't expect him to be a Bernie Sanders. Biden is the compromise. The "Good enough I guess" vote. The "Not fucking Trump" vote. The safe choice to minimize damage, not the radical changes we actually need.
Living in Virginia and seeing bumper stickers talking about "The Biden Crime family" and other nutjob bullshit, yes. They don't really hide their retardation. In fact, they go out of their way to advertise it.
Okay then let's focus on impressionists. Grapple with that for a minute because you seem to be avoiding it. If someone does a stand-up special they wrote and did a highly accurate impression of George Carlin, why is that illegal?
Right so every single song, every use of Frank Sinatra's voice on YouTube to cover songs is wildly illegal, yes? They have ads, they're doing it for profit. The people who made the special didn't sell access to it so how'd they make money? Same way I'd imagine.
"A significant part of the military would switch sides too" So you think a large portion of the military would casually commit treason? The Military is built on following orders even when you don't like them. Especially when you don't like them. A bunch of hics LARPing as guerrilla fighters on American soil are not going to stand very long, at all. The red hats are a good target from 30,000 feet.
Again, so someone can't do a gilbert gottfried impression while doing their own stand-up? That's illegal to do because their voice itself is copyright protected? Man, all these AI covers on Youtube are fucked then.
You completely misunderstand the law to appeal to emotion which continues to feed into the hysteria around generative AI. Photoshop isn't illegal, generative AI isn't illegal, doing impressions isn't illegal. This would be no different if someone took that same script and did their best George Carlin impression.
They were ordered to stop putting the fence up, ignored it, and continued to put the fence up. Yes, if the Texas National Guard is federalized they probably won't refuse orders but that has to be an active choice by Biden to do. Until then, they are under the Governor's orders which have been to ignore the supreme court ruling and federal law.
It is the definition of treason as the Governor is expected or trusted to obey federal laws.
No I know it was just a really weird time to try and use that line. I can only assume they were trying to be funny while the guy prior was coming to terms with the peril of being a Texan right now.
