    It’s legal for anyone to use it to train AI (twitch or scrapers), letting us benefit from free sota open source solutions

    Or

    It’s illegal for either without explicit consent from the creator and the platform, making Twitch the defacto gatekeeper, bringing up costs massively and killing open source

    Only one of these outcomes fucks over consumers by creating a subscription only environment. Opt out opt in stuff is still only for the benefit of the big companies. We need an environment that stays open, anything else is monopoly territory.

      That’s silly. These are not the only two options, we literally already have a mechanism for this with how copyright and the public domain works.

      The fact that corporations lobbied for decades to destroy those rules is one thing.

      A creator who makes a work of art, video, etc should absolutely maintain the rights to THEIR work for a set amount of time and that includes the right to not have their work scraped, trained on, and then replicated against their will.

      There should be a 5 year cool down on the legality of scraping user generated content, full stop.

      There is no world where stealing everyone’s creative output with impunity ends well. This shit needs to stop and the public already HATES AI and this is not helping at all.

        If you think the laws will be built for small content creators and not in favor of corporate juggernauts, then I have a bridge to sell you

          So you’re a coward, there it is.

          You don’t have to accept the disrespect from the current world. Nothing is set in stone.

          Good luck.

            Lmao, so now you’re throwing baseless insults. Obviously, I’m not surprised since your whole stance is based on knee jerk emotions instead of logic.

            I’m a realist, I’m not going to push for laws that are never going to be in a favor.

            Like I said, you are living in a fantasy world. Copyright companies aren’t your friend.
