Encrypt all the things and don’t even demand ransom, just throw the key away!

That’s the fun part of all of it though, there’s no definition or even subjective ruling of what constitutes “substantial transformation” or any ruling that generative AI being derivative of copyrighted material, it’s a complete legal clusterfuck of law and consequences.

But yeah, I do agree that if a ruling or law change came about it would definitely be in the favor of late stage capitalism.

Upside, so if these guys use AI to create assets or code, none of that can be copyrighted currently under the law. Therefore if it’s not copyrightable then pirating the game and using those assets in other games is perfectly fine.
