A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Good. Please have this kind of 'company' die off and never try this bullshit again, you theiving, planet killing assholes.
You could be talking about either company here. I'm no fan of AI but you know this will set precedent for scummy companies like Warner Brothers to over reach into other things for "copyright reasons".
Nope, I don't know that.
Techdirt has covered this kinda thing for decades. Being familiar with their work I am confident no good will come of a Warner Brothers Discovery win in court. It absolutely won't protect individual artists. It may even have the opposite effect of causing Gen AI models to avoid corporate art and only use art of individual creators who can't afford to sue.
Maybe the best we can hope for is a private settlement that sets no precedent.
