that's a very good point

macrovision was a DRM technique applied to DVDs

it worked by very slightly altering the signal such that humans wouldn't notice, but prevented VHS recorders from making a decent copy

macrovision removal devices were ruled as circumvention devices and hence illegal in both the US and EU

this poisoning approach is essentially the same idea as macrovision, with pretty similar intent

so I don't see why systematically removing it wouldn't count as circumvention




Uh oh, you have a circumvention device right now then.... the print screen button.

A lot of the artists in the DA and other places that are annoyed with their work being used to train AI work by taking a commission to create an image and then share it online for everyone to enjoy.

Their objection to it being used to train AI is more nuanced than people think.


Not really. Their argument is "Hey, I looked at everyones art all my life and used that to build my internal model, but it's time for me to pull up the ladder behind me"

Copyright is not about reading your art, it's about the creation of subsequent works that are some arbitrary measure of 'too close' to the work other people already created.


The people using generative models didn't develop their internal model though?
