re: Company makes AI covers of a girl's music, copyright strikes original singer

The solution should be making it harder for the music companies to make claims. Their greed is out of control and impacting many content creators. Youtube should not blanket let them create claims against fair use and place the burden 100% on content creators. Record labels should be forced to show proof of their claim.
I agree in principle, but it’s not just a YouTube problem. It’s a DMCA problem.
The DMCA gives web hosts immunity from infringement claims provided they aren’t aware of the infringing content. So if someone sends Google a DMCA claim and they don’t act on it, they open themselves up to liability for copyright infringement.
For the host, the potential consequences of ignoring a valid claim are much greater than the consequences of a bogus takedown. The copyright trolls no this, and they gave virtually no consequences for issuing false infringement notices.
I think solving the problem would probably require some sort of legislative (or at minimum regulatory) action. Again I don’t know the exact solution but I don’t think it’s something that can be fixed by YouTube/Google in a vacuum.

All I know is youtube's copyright claims should be shut down, it is abused too much.
Think about it from YouTube’s perspective though. Would you rather deal with pissed off content creators (who already agreed to your TOS anyway) or deal with DMCA lawsuits from the RIAA, MPAA, etc?
It’s shitty because a single false takedown hurts an individual content creator way more than a single missed case of infringement hurts the copyright owner. At the same time, I can understand why YouTube would err on the side of takedowns from a risk perspective.
I don’t know what the solution is.

Read this, it is worse than you think

There are several things going on here, but the root of this is more a problem with YouTube copyright enforcement than AI.
YouTube’s copyright enforcement process is pretty one-sided (in favor of the party claiming infringement). There’s a pretty strict “3 strike” system and content creators who appeal claims can wind up having their entire channel de-monetized if they lose appeals - even though it’s possible to lose an appeal without ever getting a chance to communicate with a real person.
Gamer’s Nexus did a video detailing their experience with YouTube copyright enforcement when they were in a fight with Bloomberg over fair use claims: YouTube link
There’s even a process by which someone claiming ownership of a copyright can leave a video up but simply take over the monetization of that video. This has led to a business model for so-called “copyright troll” companies who search for possible infringement on behalf of copyright owners.
It’s probably a tough spot for YouTube. I would guess that their perceived liability (under the platform’s T&C’s) to content creators for incorrectly striking a video is considerably less than their perceived liability (under the DMCA) to copyright owners for incorrectly leaving a video up.
I don’t think it’s entire clear how much role (if any) AI actually played in this specific YouTube takedown, based on the article you linked. As the article and others in this thread have pointed out, the songs themselves were public domain. Someone managed to file a claim for the actual performance, as if to say that the account uploading the videos (her account) didn’t actually own those specific videos.
It seems like the AI issue in this case is a separate problem - someone made AI copies of her YouTube videos and uploaded them to Spotify. That, in itself, is a systemic problem for the music industry right now. But I doubt the company filing the copyright claim had anything to do with that part. More likely that the same user who created the AI copies effectively tried to steal the performer’s musical identity and used the copyright enforcement company as a means to that end.
re: Louisiana QR code for inspection sticker proposal

It's your own personal QR code and when scanned by any LEO it will show them a copy of your DL along with validating the vehicles registration, proof of insurance etc...
It will also alert the LEO of any outstanding warrants completely eliminating the need to radio dispatch for said info unless it's discovered that you aren't the registered owner of the vehicle
Can’t the LEO already check all of this info from your license plate, before he gets out of his car?
Wouldn’t you want to know whether someone has outstanding warrants before standing there next to his window to scan his QR code?
Let’s be honest here.. this is about money.

Where is your link?
Not the poster you’re responding to, but it’s not hard to find. It was in the 90’s. His company (he was the CEO) paid the largest (at the time) medicare fraud settlement in history. The company was convicted of multiple felonies, and now he’s a US Senator.
Then there’s Philip Esformes, who was accused of $1.3 billion in Medicare fraud and convicted in 2019. His 20 year prison sentence was commuted a year later.
The case in OP is fricked up, but nowhere near a record when it comes to Medicare fraud.

You haven’t KSP’d till you’ve had to make a rescue mission to get Jeb off of the Mun.
You haven’t really KSP’d until you’ve:
1. Accidentally stranded a Kerbal in orbit, then
2. Thought for a brief moment about what it would take to rescue them, then
3. Changed the ship type from “capsule” to “space station,” then
4. Left them in space for the rest of the game.
Other acceptable answers include:
- Spending 3 hours building a monstrosity of a probe only to launch it, return to the KSC, then realize you forgot to install an antenna and/or batteries when it’s time for the next maneuver.
- Spending 3 hours building a monstrosity of a crew vehicle, finally getting the damned thing to orbit, rendezvousing in orbit of another planet, then realizing your docking port is on backwards.
- Spending 30 minutes walking back to your spaceship because you got carried away and wrecked your Mun rover.
- Attaching boosters to your boosters.
But yeah.. I don’t think there’s any better way to learn how orbital mechanics actually work than playing KSP. I’d love to know the percentage of actual rocket scientists who have played it.. I bet it’s shockingly high. :lol:
re: TV hardware

if the scene is vibrant colors it’s perfectly fine, but if the scenes are dark, or not a lot of light it isn’t very clear at all, and you can see the rings of color changes like the contrast is way off or something
Sounds like you’re talking about color banding. Are you noticing this on streaming content? Because color banding in dim scenes is a fairly common compression artifact with streaming content.
I’m a little surprised folks are just telling you to buy a new TV without asking questions. :lol: Ideally it would help to know your full hardware setup e.g. TV model, specific content causing the problem, type of source (are you using a built-in app, external streaming box, etc.), and how it is hooked up. Would also be good to test and see if you notice any issues with high bit rate source material like a Blu-ray, if possible.
My suspicion is that it’s something like Netflix in which case it could be anything from a bandwidth problem, to a TV settings problem, to a simple matter of bad content.
ETA: I see you listed the TV model and mentioned you’re using a Fire Stick. I would start by putting the TV in filmmaker mode (don’t recall if that’s exactly what Samsung calls it, but it’s the mode that turns off a lot of the extra processing) and try to see if you can see the problem on non-streamed content.
Unbelievable performance from Bide today. Holy shite. First pitch off the top of the scoreboard. :bow:

Doubling down on ignorance I see. :lol:
ETA: Operable crude distillation capacity has increased by over 3 million barrels per day since the mid-90’s, and utilization (crude throughput as a percentage of operable capacity) has actually decreased since the mid-90’s. Meanwhile, the US is a net exporter of refined products but a net importer of crude oil. Lack of refining capacity isn’t a problem.

Yeah I started watching near the middle of season 3 a couple of years ago and never finished it because it just got annoying.
Finally picked it back up last week, and I’m glad I did. S4 was a lot better. Enjoying S5 so far as well.
