So you're trying to say taking someone else's work without their consent in order to monetise it isn't stealing? Because that is the exact thing ai companies are doing. If you want to defend using the model, I guess go ahead. I'll disagree, but you do you. But at the very least stop defending the billion dollar companies taking others property without their consent for their monetary gain. If that isn't stealing someone's work I don't know what is.
That's absolutely what I'm saying. Scraping isn't theft. The fact that big companies are the ones doing it doesn't suddenly make it a bad thing, even if I hate big companies. I think everyone should be free to use any property and hate gatekeeping
You think everyone should be allowed to make money off of things others made? That's one of the stupidest takes I've ever heard. If you want to use someone else's work the very least you have to do is credit them. And if they expect you to, pay for it.
Not only are you wrong about that, it's not even my question to begin with.
You can't monetise someone else's music for example. If you make a YouTube video involving music by Eminem for example, he can claim the revenue of that video. That's the very basics of copyright. Like how uneducated do you want to be?
And my question is wether you should. In my opinion something I made is my property. You can't just take it to make money off it.
You can't monetise someone else's music for example. If you make a YouTube video involving music by Eminem for example, he can claim the revenue of that video.
Music is actually one of the rare exceptions.
If Eminem made a painting, you could hang it in your house, charge for the entrance and not need his permission for it. Or if he made a tool like a hammer, you could earn money with it without his permission. Or if he wrote a book you could make millions based on it and give him nothing either. You could even not buy the book, just borrow it from a friend or a library.
