Remember when NFTs sold for millions of dollars? 95% of the digital collectibles are now probably worthless.::NFTs had a huge bull run two years ago, with billions of dollars per month in trading volume, but now most have crashed to zero, a study found.
What about the rights of the creator and fair compensation? That argument alone is driving the entire backlash against AI and AI created art whereby people’s work was read and incorporated in some level without restriction, why not here too?
That’s why you get paid up front for your work.
We should worry more about what corporations are doing with people’s work, than what individuals are doing with what they’ve paid for.
Or simply, if someone’s profiting off of someone else’s work, then worry about the rules.
I guess this is kind of my point. The general left consensus on copyrights, creator’s content, DRM, and AI is not founded a position of principles, it’s foundation is seemingly only what serves the end goal which is whatever is perceived to help middle/lower class the most.
Which of course I can totally get down with, but I just resent that everyone covers their arguments as if it’s coming from a principled idea when in actuality they hold little principles on the matter and just want an end goal.
Copyright only exists to serve society, to promote the creation of content. It’s not about restricting anything, other than as far as it helps more people create, more creation happen. Corporations stomping on individuals does not promote creation.
