Digitizing a dvd shouldn’t count as copyright infringement unless you are actively distributing the video or selling it. Bullshit.
This is why I’m just back to pirating shit.
Especially if it’s from Amazon.
The law overwhelmingly favors corporate entities over people. We’ve been over this more times than HBO Max changed their logo.
They can buy a one of a kind book from you, scan it, and shred the original and all they get is more military contracts

Someone should make an ai model that steals from other ai models: call it privateer.
Uh, they already did, and have been doing so for about 2 years now.
Haha he thinks these AI companies are buying the books.
They are buying the books. Used booksellers are reporting a rash of unusual purchases: high volumes of book purchases with no regard for content or cost.
It’s easy. Don’t follow the rules.
That’s an option, but it’s got a pretty expensive penalty if you get caught. It’s a lot of risk for a song / movie / game. By all means, do your thing, but you gotta be prepared for what could happen.
Yes of course. However, if all understand and do that, it’s impossible to go after all.
The law has to follow the habit. So education is key, equal right for everyone.
That’s the part many corrupt people have not understood. It all collapses at some point.
They’re both infringement, and no-one in authority cares about either. This is kind of the situation we collectively negotiated post-Napster. Piracy is allowed to exist as long as distribution isn’t being directly commercialized; it is only addressed in a piece-meal fashion by big publishers on a short-term basis for their critical first weeks.
Ripping a DVD isn’t copyright infringement. If the playback program caches the output video 500ms in advance, is it infringement? If my computer has any DRAM, is it infringement? If the law says it is, the law needs to change.
But the LLM companies do make money off the content it was trained on, no?
Why don’t you just buy a few senators and do something about it, if you’re so upset?
Yup. Donors get policies, voters get apologies.

Rich Americans have money and buy senators.
Poor Americans have guns and take fascism sitting down.
MMW the midterm results will enshrine DNC Incumbents as the fascist enablers they are.

Can’t wait for Dems to take both the House and Senate … and then always be just one vote short of being able to do anything meaningful. As usual.
If only Americans would learn from MAGA primarying GOP incumbents until the party moved in the direction they wanted.
Takes more effort than bitching online and actually takes persistence and patience.
Oh no no no no you got it all wrong, you have to digitize it and then burn the CD so that nobody can ever see it unless they have access to that digital copy.
Something something who else was it that burned books?
False, they never bought your book.
Missed a major part: the AI companies are buying rare books, scanning them and then burning them. It’s not like buying a DVD which can easily be digitally copied with hardware that most people have at home, it’s so mucn worse than that.
Copyright laws are just state’s monopoly on information, at this point.
