- There’s a practical concern: how do you prevent ai without preventing people.
- What if you want to allow search, and how is that different than ai, legally or in practice?
- Does this put Reddit in a new light? Free content to users but charging for the api to do bulk download such as for ai?

In theory, could you then just register as an AI company and pirate anything?
Well no, just the largest ones who can pay some fine or have nearly endless legal funds to discourage challenges to their practice, this bring a form of a pretend business moat. The average company won't be able to and will get shredded.

I'm naming my torrent client "AI" and now I have the right to download a car.
should start up our own ai company anyone is free to join
I identify as an AI company ☠️
no no, i mean people should actually start utilizing this bullshit. Anyone can start a company and with some technical knowhow you can add somekind of ai crap to it. companies dont have to make profit or anything useful so there is no pressure to do anything with it.
But if it comes to copyright law not applying to ai companies, why should some rich assholes be only ones exploiting that? It might lead to some additional legal bullshit that excludes this hypotetical kind of ai company, but that would also highlight better that the law benefits only the rich.

I mean they were trained on copyrighted material and nothing has been done about that so...
So abolish copyright law entirely instead of only allowing theft when capitalists do it.

A new law could soon allow AI companies to use copyrighted material without permission.
Good. Copyright and patent laws need to die.
All the money wasted enforcing them and taken from customers could be better spent on other things.
Creators will still create, as they always have. We just won't have millionaire scumbags such as 'paul mccartney' living like kings while children starve.
Lol everything you create will now be stolen by Disney who will own the only organizations that can reach an audience.
Thanks for giving them free money forever just so you can spite people with actual talent.
How is disney going to make its money without copyright and patent laws?
How will their movies sell if it's legal for anyone to copy and redistribute them?
How will they make as much money off of merchandise if they have to legally compete with people who don't hold copyrights to their IP?
The only "Lol" here is how proud you people are for being useful idiots. This is why things are the way they are.

It only seems to make a difference when the rich ones complain.
On the other hand copyright laws have been extended to insane time lengths. Sorry but your grandkids shouldn't profit off of you.

It’s like the goal is to bleed culture from humanity. Corporate is so keep on the $$$ they’re willing to sacrifice culture to it.
I’ll bet corporate gets to keep their copyrights.
