    “I need it for my business plan to work out” is not a great legal argument for when you’re trying to override others rights.

    Funny that when it was about protecting profits copyright was such a cornerstone principle but when it’s about protecting profits it can also be set aside.

    So why can’t I read them for free too? Only massive billion dollar companies get stuff for free?

    I would like to announce that I am pioneering a new AI program. Give me access to all of the movies for free please.

        Copyright means a legal protection showing you own your own works: words written, audio recorded, and artwork created.

        With exceptions for nonprofit and parody, others cannot use your work to do businesss with without your written permission.

        Poor people apparently don’t get that.

      I’ll setup a JellAIfin server immediately. It’s just the regular Jellyfin code, but I am compiling my own version - it has “AI” added as a comment to every line of code before I compiled.

      There was an episode of behind the bastards I was listening to a while back where they mentioned some dude who was using an AI tool to scrape the internet to steal other people’s art, so people started doing something that prevented him from optimally stealing their art.

      I can’t remember what exactly, but the guy started whining that whatever people were doing was “illegal” bc it was damaging his tool he was using to steal other people’s shit for his own profit. Like somebody telling you that it’s illegal to prevent them from efficiently stealing your property bc it interferes with their livelihood. How dare you!

      Anyway, that’s the kind of vibes I get from this.

    And that’s why I have an AI training library of movies and TV stored up.

    I’ll get around to training an AI on it any day now, I’m sure.

    Can a human be expected to have a successful life when they have to pay for knowledge they need access to? I am not against the opinion that information should be free and freely accessible. But does this courtesy also extend to the common folk or is it exclusive to expensive machines and their owners? You wouldn’t download a United States government. da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
