this is one of those situations where people could take a lot of their ideas from Sports Twitter. When OpenAI collapses I better see Altman's replies filled with links to job applications at T-Mobile stores like he's a Browns QB who just threw three picks

The Baker Mayfield scorched Earth tour is so fun

Giants chaos also so fun

Y'all tripping the Brewers are still the best team in ball and the Blue Jays deserve more respect.

Mariners are WAY overestimated, imo.

This fella wandered into my yard a few days ago. I have named him Kyle. I will befriend him.

He loves to eat the food I put out for my ducks.
carypalmer.bsky.social
Ironic considering he's wrong

Platforms absolutely can sublicense non-exclusive rights if the creator agrees to the ToS. That’s the whole loophole I have been pointing out... it’s not “stealing,” it’s artists being boxed into giving away permissions by contract before they realize the consequences.
trevbaylis.bsky.social
Creators don't need lawyers. They need to better understand copyright law and enforce their rights. For instance,
Sub-licensing a non-exclusive right is not actually possible. It's an absurdity because Platforms don't own any © to sub-license. It's just copyright infringement.
carypalmer.bsky.social
ToS agreements are binding contracts. If you clicked “agree,” then sublicensing (as defined in the ToS) is legally permitted.

It’s not automatically infringement... it’s a voluntary license grant.

Which is what my entire post was about.

You are wholly incorrect and should probably not interject.
carypalmer.bsky.social
You being one of the creators that doesn't understand infringement, clearly lol
carypalmer.bsky.social
Most artists aren’t going to litigate ToS clauses... they’ll just lose control of distribution the moment they upload something.

My point is that the system shouldn’t force creators to need a lawyer just to keep basic ownership intact for uploading on a high visibility art site
carypalmer.bsky.social
True, but the problem isn’t that ToS literally override copyright law... it’s that they discourage enforcement by giving platforms broad sublicensing rights and plausible deniability.

I will do my best to contribute to this cause so we can all be better off as a result

I'd like to apologize to artists :

Artists are being forced onto predatory platforms that are selling their art to scrapers by choice.

I have always assumed that IP rights were as solid as they were for code on GitHub.

I was very wrong and that is really disheartening to learn.
carypalmer.bsky.social
This will give every artist complete, undeniable legal authorship of everything they ever make available.

That way you can easily DMCA anything you see on ANY other website.
carypalmer.bsky.social
Okay turns out I can definitely make a GitHub exclusively for Art and it won't even be that hard.

I can use a ton of the existing git infrastructure.

I'ma have this shit in prototype by the weekend.
carypalmer.bsky.social
After talking to art friends i respect, there definitely needs to make a universal source of truth for artists to use as a platform.

Websites making your shit available isn't new, even if it is wrong + amplified by AI.

Why does art not have a GitHub or something adjacent to protect their work?
carypalmer.bsky.social
Cuz I genuinely don't think you can stop theft/copying/scraping in the internet anymore.

Shit is too lawless

Audit logs and commit history/immutable timestamps will at least always have your back in terms of IP claims, at least
carypalmer.bsky.social
I don't think it's a cure-all of course... But these web pages are killing the artist they are hosting.

At least this way you have some licensing to stand on if you wanted to pursue it legally
carypalmer.bsky.social
That's where the licensing comes into play, contrary to your standard art pages.

github has very robust terms that specifically consider it criminal if you upload something unauthorized.

You instantly gain licensing advantages for IP claims and it's easily traceable.

Art sites give them 0 power
