George Carlin Estate Files Lawsuit Against Group Behind AI-Generated Stand-Up Special: ‘A Casual Theft of a Great American Artist’s Work’::George Carlin's estate has filed a lawsuit against the creators behind an AI-generated comedy special featuring a recreation of the comedian's voice.
And they deserve to lose the lawsuit on First Amendment grounds. Full stop.
Anyone that actually knows the story behind it from a context beyond the anti-AI circlejerking narratives knows it was a form of comedic parody put together by comedians.
First amendment's got nothing to do with this my man.
The very often misunderstood first amendment only protects citizen's speech from criminal charges by the government. Perhaps you meant the fair use doctrine?
The right of publicity forbids the unauthorized use of an individual’s name or likeness for commercial or other certain exploitative purchases. [...]
Any right of publicity is subject to First Amendment defenses. A defense team may claim if the alleged violation “contains significant transformative elements, it is not only especially worthy of First Amendment protection, but it is also less likely to interfere with the economic interest protected by the right of publicity.”
Uh i guess self love is important but i hardly see how that has bearing itt.
Your link doesn't actually say anything except that right of publicity also has first amendment protections.
And listen. Your rudeness when i was being polite is lame. As is your stubborn refusal to check whether you are actually correct.
If you care, look it up. If not, wallow in it.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prevents the government from making laws that: regulate an establishment of religion; prohibit the free exercise of religion; abridge the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the freedom of assembly, or the right to petition the government for redress of grievances.
Don't reply. I bless you with this knowledge as a goodbye present only.
What kind of nonsense reply is this and who is upvoting this sort of rambling confusion?
Fair use doctrine is established from the legal extents of the First Amendment. You are handwaving it away without any context or detail, and then seem to be panicking when someone else points out how confidently incorrect you are.
You mistake others rudeness for your own, as demonstrated when your entire posturing on my initial comment was posed in a dismissive 'actually' sort of style, and then your reply above to the other guy was snide and arrogant without any useful amount of substance related to the context you attempted to apply to it.
