[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 9290916, member: 27897"] I think that in the case of something that extends beyond international borders, where the legal definitions can vary greatly, to quibble over the meaning of such a term is needless nitpicking. I think that the use of people's work, without fair compensation, is ethically, morally, and should be legally abhorrent. There are exceptions in copyright law to allow for the educational use of materials. This does not extend to corporations, nor other similar entities. A "tax" on AI does nothing to compensate the original creator. Until a levy was placed on the use of digital recording media, in Canada, I used to distribute my work on CD/DVD. The levy goes into a fund that is used to compensate the creators of intellectual property for the unlawful dissemination of their work, in theory. In practice it goes to large production houses. I, as a creator, had to pay it without having any way to get it back, so I modified my delivery methods. I was not being compensated. You can "What if...?" all you like. Mere speculation does little to change my feelings that are based on real experience with such things. [/QUOTE]
