How appalling it is that after all these loud years of Hollywood and tech companies screaming about piracy they're willing to use your voice, your work, your entire *life*, and tell you you're standing in their way.

It's only piracy if it costs them money 😡

Indeed. Because it's always been about them making money. They've never been concerned about lost revenue to artists, musicians, writers, etc., only what piracy cost them. And now, the push-back against AI is potentially losing money for them, so they're whining about it.

Piracy for them means piracy for me. They continuously take and take and pillage anything of value form the working class. It's time to start returning the favors.

Microsoft was the largest voice for IP protection for decades, and now they're just breaking it anywhere and everywhere they can.

Like how Microsoft make Defender but also intentionally ship literal spyware/adware to every Windows PC more than once lately. (Process that watches to see which web browser you use and, when it’s not Edge, shows an on-top pop-up advising you to switch to Edge and use Bing.)

Buying is not owning, You have no rights to your likeness, there is no such thing as theft then. Rrrr matey!

All criminals do this. They continuously accuse others of being who they themselves truly are. It's part of the psychopathy of insane people, they project who they are onto others. Anytime someone's making accusations, look closer at the accuser, they're describing themselves, it's always true.

Piracy is preventing them from fleecing you.

I know they've already used AI art, but has Hollywood started using AI recreations of people's voices without permission?

they are the pirates, locking down human culture. they cry, “thief! thief!” as thieves do when they want to keep what they’ve taken.

I decided that last year after it seemed like energy service gave themselves two price hikes that piracy is just kind of fine by me now.
