I think the author got confused, it's not despite off it's because of.

I wonder if turning off easy pair would help. That stays on when Bluetooth is off.

Is that kind of like how I talk to my team on the team's app and send files and messages to them in the team in the teams app?

They seriously need a new marketing group.

A collage would be fair use, yes I believe that's already been established but again I'm not like a copyright lawyer or anything like that. I'll leave that for others to research and prove in the courtroom.

I would say that your first example, as it file is not really accurate but the collage may be more so. It's a statistical model that calculates statistically what a thing should be. Is it learning? Maybe maybe not.

Thank you very much for summoning Jeff Goldblum's voice into my head.

I think that the argument is that it's not actually copying it and instead learning from it.

I feel like they really have to pay something. Maybe their argument is right and they shouldn't pay full price given that if a human did the same thing to learn to make music, they also wouldn't be billed in that way, given it's openly available.

Maybe they are required to give a portion of profits back to the source materials creators?

The purpose of the copyright system is that someone should not be allowed to take your material and sell it to someone else passing it off as your own and make the profit thereby stealing the profit from you. I don't think that's what's happening here but also at the same time it doesn't seem like what they're doing is right because they're making profit off of somebody else's work without paying anything.

It feels to me like the answer should be somewhere in the middle.

I certainly don't have the answers though.

For them I don't think it matters. I think the whole goal is to have further awareness and having people burning time on it like we're doing right now brings more awareness to the issue regardless what side you're on. They believe their side is just so that it will win out in general and bringing further awareness and making people think about it can only be a good thing.

Tl;Dr: awareness.

I believe the end goal is to cause conversations like the above.

I'm too chicken.

I'm in. This world desperately needs an information workers union. Someone to cover those poor fuckers in the help desk and desktop support as well as the engineers and architects that keep all of this shit running.

Those of us that aren't underpaid are treated poorly. Today is what it looks like if everybody strikes at once.
