It’s not possible to eliminate IP rights under capitalism.

It is. Independent artists already gain basically nothing from IP law, because they can't afford to defend their claims in court. The fact that their art (usually, before AI) isn't stolen is a testament to the fact that there's just not much money in doing so, while the fact that their art got stolen once AI hit the scene shows that the law doesn't actually stop the rich from doing this stuff. Press the socialism button anyway, but in any case it's mostly corporations who benefit from IP law. permalink fedilink source parent [–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago Would you say starving artists were fine with you before AI? permalink fedilink source parent
