We need an assumed and exclusive right to our own likenesses and fast.

Doesn't even matter. The systems they built for copyright enforcement are absolute shit and easily abused if you have a lot of money, as designed. And with AI added to the mix, it's all automated so none of it will work as it should and they don't care to fix it. Disney or whoever can just launch constant copyright claims and cripple small IP owners even when they're completely in the wrong.

If we all know this why hasn't there been a class action lawsuit, and don't give me the arbitration keeps people from trying. As we have learned with this American administration, do it fast enough that the courts can't respond amd maybe you can force it.

That is the truth.

We do, AI companies just don't respect it.

[–] hayvan@piefed.world 8 points 1 hour ago

More importantly, platforms don't respect it. Any malicious outside actor shouldn't be allowed to their malice.

Beware: AI companies really want to sell a terrible solution to the problem they created.

Didn't Denmark do something along those lines recently?

Wouldn’t be the first one to post the content bias, the algorithm in your favor?

Lets not throw out freedom of panorama because of AI.

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

What does that have to do with anything here?? I don't know about you, but my likeness is not permanently located in a public space...

Freedom of panorama (FoP) is a provision in the copyright laws of various jurisdictions that permits taking photographs and video footage and creating other images (such as paintings) of buildings and sometimes sculptures and other art works which are permanently located in a public space, without infringing on any copyright that may otherwise subsist in such works, and the publishing of such images.

I'm not sure of the correct term. It should be obvious though that if anyone can copyright claim their own image, it would basically make taking photos in many public places impossible.

It's not impossible at all. You just have to blur the faces and any identifying marks unless you've obtained explicit consent. Kind people already do this regularly.
