>AI is now copyright striking AI content
Is it over?
Expanding on this train of thought:
The AI copyright wars in the near future are going to provide bountiful content to laugh at, if only because I doubt it’s going to stay in the public’s hands for long.
Free generators will become a thing of the past in a couple years or so, because the companies hosting them will start demanding subscription fees- and only allow a few images or videos to be created a day. They’ve all invested billions into AI, and are only making around $30-40 million in return. It’s naive to think these corporations aren’t going to start aggressively monetizing the people who use their services.
Back to copyright, several lawsuits are being filed against these companies every month for scraping their content to use in its data system. While nothing is coming out of them for now, all it will take is a major record label to start going after these music generators once people start selling knock off albums claiming to be a famous musician.
Theoretically, at the moment, you could make a fake knock off Taylor Swift album and sell copies of it online without legal punishment of any sort. There’s enough Swifties out there who can’t pick up on AI generated content. It’s all fun and games until Taylor’s record company wants a cut of the profits, and decide to sue.
All in all, I can see mega corporations like Disney and Sony wanting to keep the AI technology to themselves. Copyright striking/lawsuits will be the most likely outcome. Then, other companies will follow suit until the common person cannot access AI generated content without paying an arm and a leg for it.
