9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
I highly doubt this for one big reason: The courts have already ruled that AI generated content isn't eligible for copyright protection.
Suppose a studio managed to make a Big AI Action Franchise using only AI. They wouldn't be able to copyright any of the movie. This would mean that people could download and share it freely. Streaming services could put it online without needing to pay the studio that "made" the film. Movie theaters could get a copy online and show it instead of paying for copies.
A copyright free AI Movie would be a revenue disaster. And we know that if there's one thing the studios care about, it's money.
Okay? Where's that line? Do we need one voice actor? A human "director"? Trust capitalism to find the limit. Also the judiciary is looking pretty compromised these days. There's a good chance the corporations bat their eyes at the judges and suddenly the studio's rights are recognized but not any individual creators.
That line is whatever you want to copyright.
So if you make an AI generated movie and then add one voice actor, then I can copy and sell everything except the voice actor.
I can copy the movie replacing the voice actor with another, edit them out entirely, write and sell a novelization, use the images from your movie to make action figures and T shirts...
Copyright is essentially per-element, so everything that was exclusively AI generated is free-for-all because embedded human expression is a hard requirement for copyright protection
Interesting, I did not know that.
