I can't take AI seriously. Not my video but I have worked with ebsynth ... it is a completely analogue algorithm. Style transfer without AI. It is built on old analogue aglorithm called patch match I believe. https://dcgi.fel.cvut.cz/home/sykorad/ebsynth.html The future of code licensing is even stronger copyright protections for software authors / artists. AI has made a mockery of opensource and creative commons. https://blog.xyzzyapps.link/2025/03/08/intellectual-property-stuff-and-trademarks/

The future of code licensing is even stronger copyright protections for software authors / artists. AI has made a mockery of opensource and creative commons.

I don't disagree with the second part... but good luck with the first

Studio Ghibli has already issued cease and desists. If the japanese government intervenes, japan can kick out american AI companies or just americans out from japan ... well I would welcome that among many other things. The logical next step is for copyright reform not in countries like UK / America or Europe whose cultural foundations are built on stolen property but you know the rest of the world, that have their own history and culture.

@xyzzy citation please? This whole thing makes me think of Rock, Paper, Crossblades .

and the ai companies who have clearly demonstrated that they have no interest in complying even with current laws are going to respect that why?

@wtaysom https://screenrant.com/studio-ghibli-anime-chatgpt-openai-artwork-fake-legal-warning/ seems like a fake cease and desist. crazy ... they have every right to do it. twitter and insta are full of ghibli this and ghibli that the legal way to get training data ... buy from stock music / stock images .... grey area - youtube uploads + deviant art or spotify where the terms and conditions have changed to allow AI I think. when you ask AI to produce lets say a cartoon like Heidi, it might steal from amateur artists in the training data. AI can only do what it is fed. The video just shows how tricky it is to get production ready AI and I really like how they disclose all the steps And again there are completely analogue algorithms as well which can do better than AI. Analogue algorithms are obviously less memory and cpu consuming.

@abeyer AI companies history of flagrantly breaking the law means we should continue to call them out, and demand our representatives to hold them accountable. We shouldn't give in to apathy

I agree on not giving in... but it's also important to recognize that I'm not sure there's any clear vision of what that means / how to meaningfully accomplish it. In any case, my point was that OP's suggestion of adding new copyright laws outside US/EU seems unlikely to be a useful approach as they may not even apply to said companies, and are likely to get ignored even if they do.

Let me add @xyzzy that when Corridor Digital did a sequel in response to criticism switched to using their own source art instead of Vampire Hunter D.

People really seem to misunderstand copyright. I describe all the IP terms here in my blog. You can always ask the original author, can I use your work ? sample your work beyond just inspiration ? The author can say ... sure go ahead. If the derivative artist is making money, the author can get royalties if they negotiate for it. Think of an indie musician, whose work is now the soundtrack of a film. The film people will actually pay for the usage rights of the music. The point of copyright is for artists to make money from derivative works. To strengthen copyrights, should mean authors have the right to refuse their work from being in AI.
