    Intellectual property shouldn’t exist in the first place, so I don’t really care if it’s “stolen”

    If someone invents something that can better people’s lives, everyone should be able to access it

      In the ideal world yes. IP is a fuck but under a capitalist system I still think artists should be able to sell their work and not have it used by machine learning programs to undercut them without their consent. For industry stuff? I don’t really care but I think individual independent artists having some IP control under this absurd system is slightly better than just fucking them all over entirely.

      Edit: the copyrighting words, concepts, and techniques shit has to stop though

        Oh I think I misunderstood the person I was replying to, I thought they were referring to Chinese IP theft in terms of industry stuff. I agree that art is a different story.

            If you misuse technology to the degree our shitty system has it should be stolen on that principle alone.

            If I bought a car solely for the purpose of driving it through a playground to smush children into jelly I deserve to have my car stolen.
