      I only discuss copyright on posts about AI copyright issues. Yes, brilliant observation. I also talk about privacy y issues on privacy relevant posts, labor issues on worker rights related articles and environmental justice on global warming pieces. Truly a brilliant and skewering observation. Youre a true internet private eye.

      Fair use and pushing back against (corporate serving) copyright maximalism is an issue I am passionate about and engage in. Is that a problem for you?

                I trust you enough to believe that you aren’t stupid, and you know what to say and not say in any given place. That’s why I thought it was extremely curious that you never bring up copyright in any thread except when it’s about AI. I can understand being a defeatist when working with small creators, of course.

                Speaking of which, what do you call theft? After all, with your legal background, doesn’t pedantry kick into high gear and remind you the issues are piracy etc?

                So are you more focused on targeting the little pirates and not the big rich billionaires in your business, or…?

                  Not legal advice not your lawyer etc etc. But I would likely never suggest someone pursue aggressively against individual piracy. You write contracts for your partners. You fight businesses when they breach. You make great work and price it appropriately. You make your wins there and you do everything you can to not find yourself in a courtroom or arbitration if you can avoid it. You’re not winning any friends and you’re not saving yourself any trouble by raging against torrents. Especially for small creators the calculus never (imo) works out in their favor. More often than not, small artists and creators need to be much more concerned about and need help with being able to defend themselves against spurious accusations of infringement by larger corporate Ip rent seekers and more-or-less automated systems (again: cyberpunk dystopia).

                  Speaking personally I find the equivocation of “copyright infringement” and “theft” ridiculous. One download = \ = one “stolen” sale, and it never has. Theft requires depriving the original of the property, being able to exercise exclusive control over it. Conceptually it has always broken down when talking about digital goods.

                    So, with all your talk of copyright and AI (and you always make sure to only talk about copyright when AI is involved), have you ever talked about the decision to digitize actor’s voices? Since you work for small creators, I imagine you have a history of being against this sort of copyright, as game studios might opt to use someone else’s digitized voice instead of a new creator, harming your clients.
