i think this’ll be my last pro-AI post for a minute?  continue to ignore, as you please.

This blog is not under copyright.  (Only this blog, I cannot and would not speak for anyone else on FtB.)  Steal it all.  Somehow make money off of it.  I dare ya.  I’m not talking about creative commons or open licensing or giving me credit in any way.  Copy paste each post individually and claim you wrote them yourself, for all I care.

What am I gonna fucking do about it?  Sue you?  Go in debt to some asswipe lawyer just on principles?  I don’t have that kind of money.  Copyright does not protect the small guy.  It was never intended to, and with Monopoly Mouse set to score big copyright expansions due in part to support from the anti-AI crowd, it’s about to get so much worse.

I’m just going to quote somebody else on this:

There is nothing you can make that Disney’s lawyers can’t convince a judge you ‘stole’ from them.

As part of the big realignment I’m having to make on my get-rich-quick dreams, I’m wondering that I should even charge money for books when I start making them.  I was born into poverty and there’s no reason to believe I’m not gonna die in the lower class.  In solidarity with my people, should I just let go any notion of making money at all, from any of my art, ever?  Not like it’s ever going to rise to the level I can escape the day job, and if the day job does squeak me through, pay my bills til I die, then why hustle for anything more?

I’m talking tall trash now but I probably will still try to sell my shit when I get it done.  Every dollar counts in nastyland.  But if anybody wants to steal it, well, who gives a fuck?  If whatever they make somehow gets money and attention, maybe I can parlay that into advertising for lil ol’ me.  It would be a lot more profitable than trying to get restitution in any way.

Meanwhile, I’m going to find it pretty amusing when all the art hobos selling fan content in the USA are suddenly in debt for life to the rodent leviathan…  Well, I don’t know.  I’m probably too kind-hearted to get any real satisfaction out of that.  Sorry you liberals that have bought the IP=good myth are going to end up with leopard-eaten faces on this deal.  Life’s a motherfucker.
