And retroactively cease all wealth generated from abusing copyright. Set an example. Seize the wealth of the individuals responsible to taking away the rights of the public. Then this shit will stop because the owner class will fear overstepping their bounds.

But they haven't broken the law, they just corrupted the lawmaking process so that they could get more money.
That kind of corruption (big money lobbying) is still quite legal and is abused every day.

Which is far worse than breaking the law and thus should be punished more severely. I'd rather someone break the law than the law making process.

It's all going to hell anyway.
Within 5 - 7 years, you'll be able to produce your own personal movies with AI.
Just tell it something like: "Make me a film adaption of The Dragonriders of Pern" And woola! It will generate one for you. It will be more perfect than the CGI in Avatar. The 'actors' will be totally realistic.
Want to be more specific? Tell what you want.
You can even tell it to remake old stuff.
"Remake Season 8 of Game of Thrones with these changes [state them]"
The actors and writers guilds got that deal to protect them from this? They don't have shit. They don't control the tech development that is leading to this.
So, they are employment fucked. Residual fucked. Not by the studios they signed that deal with, but by the you, me & the AI trinity. The studios are going to also be fucked 6 months to a year behind them.
Watch the porn 'sub' industry in the film biz as the canary in the coal mine. It will happen there first. And that industry doesn't have the pull politically or financially to fight it. The regular film industry looks down on them even though there is not much difference between the two, so won't lift a finger to help. The AI will thus have carte blanch to cut its teeth there.
Then, the experienced AI biz will take what it learned there and slam the Disneys and Stephen Kings of the Big Boys in the film and writing industry so fast it will all be over for them in a couple of years.
Copyright and patent infringement enforcement processes will be too slow to fight it.
AI is going to be their Napster. Only it will win.
Two bad we'll all be starving in the streets shortly after that goes down to enjoy it much.

The corporate media is taking the tack of fighting the use of their published articles as AI training data, claiming that violates copyright.
That kind of thing could cripple AI in the short term, at least.

Yes. But what they are doing violates Fair Use.
And it won't cripple it.

A budget studio could have always used lookalikes and done that. AI did not add anything here. True, you can make such a film, but only for your personal watching. Selling it would violate copywrites. Maybe we will see more "fan films."

No need for a budget studio. And they won't be look a likes but fully resemble the same actors. Deepfakes on steroids.

If the FIB and CIA can create fake dossiers and manufacture fake crimes for Assange, etc., then deepfake AI videos of corruptocrats is fair game.
GNL says
That video is far from acceptable.
It is where the directtion is going that matters.

How the abusers profit:
Many millions (billions?) of dollars in sales of Mickey Mouse crap.
What you lose:
The integrity of our lawmaking process.
The ability to freely use works more than 20 years old.
The right to sell images Mickey Mouse.
How they rationalize their abuse:
People are living longer.
Foreign sales of Mickey Mouse help the US balance of trade.
How you should respond to their rationalizations:
Extending copyright due to pressure from lobbyists undermines the integrity of our lawmaking system.
There is never any legitimate cause to extend copyright beyond 20 years. It is symptomatic of the corruption inherent in our system of lobbying that a single corporation, Disney, has always gotten copyright extended exactly when the copyright on Mickey Mouse is about to expire.
