saying that those who create are entitled to the value of what they create.
Here I was thinking we all deserved a giant meteor.
The publisher example is one of a difference in power and you're saying that IP is there to protect the author. Except this whole video is about how that doesn't happen anymore. The law is written and litigated by those with power.
The corporations exist to extract as much ownership as possible from the creative class, it is not a proxy ownership by those doing the collaborative work. See the recent WGA strike as an example. Unions and co-ops are the proxies, not corporations.
Prostitutes can't have a romantic life unless they're paid to do so? This is such a bizarre metaphor, let's see where it leads 🍿
Also: if there's no consent it's not steeling, it is rape. It's really strange to think how because of someone's profession we recontextualize the act as steeling and not rape. Ie it's like saying one is steeling from prostitutes while not addressing the fucking rape. This is your brain on Milton Friedman economics - where your body is capital and it has a price.
Honestly I cried when I heard. It encapsulates my own views on grief but is also prescient and speaks as a father would asking someone to comfort their son after they're taken away. But his children will receive no comfort, they were killed as well. It is little solace that he was with his family at the end. It makes me angry beyond words so I will lean on this poem to communicate what I can't. Which brings me back to this Refaat Alareer's views on teaching and using English to liberate. I'm autistic, I struggle with language sometimes and it was strangely familiar to hear his view. I guess my own words to add would be (WIP):
Be open to grief.
Be open to seeing others
As they see themselves.
Be open to seeing yourself
In another person.
Invite in the sorrow of others.
Know their burden
Is much like your own.
Know your needs
Are shared by others.
If you labor there's only two ways you get paid your full worth: you own the means of your production or your boss is a chump. However much the job pays, you are going to have a larger impact than your salary (hopefully).
Misattribute then? My only position was that your rebuttal was not logical while asking for logic, which I thought was funny and "absurd" as you put it.
Seems we're partially applying market dynamics of supply and demand. Simply assuming the "surplus" supply of deep fakes will decrease their value ignores the fact that the demand is still there. Instead what we get is new value opportunities in the arms race of validating and distributing deep fakes.
You response highlights how the victims needs the power of community to respond appropriately, and how society excuses some forms of violence (involuntary porn) and not others (women getting retribution).
I would have more sympathy for that argument if the same was applied to the government regulating land and taxes. It ain't your land or your money, you have it on lease from the government so stop bitching and render unto Caesar.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.
