This does not help when the deepfaker can’t be found.
[off topic]
Reminds me of a science fiction story. A regular type guy happens to look like a big star. The star sues the regular guy for copywrite infringement
This is going to lead to folks licensing their features for money.
which is …fine with me?
You shouldn’t be.
This kind of reframing of the words (by Denmark, not you) has led in the past to the abuse of what something is called to reshape slavery in modern times.
On the surface, this seems like a great idea: give the people autonomy on their likeness and its use.
What if you’re in debt? Sell your likeness? Should companies be allowed to lure ppl with commercials about making money by selling their likeness? Should we create laws about extortion and coercion that include forcibly making someone give up their likeness? Short-term likeness “rental farms”? What if the terms of the likeness are a different financial mechanism like a reverse mortgage or a lease? International laws agree on all these terms?
We also collectively determined that slavery is illegal, but it still happens by exactly manipulating the mechanisms to get at the resource: come work in the Arab Emirates. Come to Canada, send money back to your family. If you pay me $5k, I will get you out of this hellhole to a country where you can have a job, money, freedom… But you have to spend 6 weeks in a shipping container and give us 6 months of work when you get there.
The only way to make a person’s likeness an inviolable right is to make it an inviolable right… With no monetary value.
99% chance it’ll wind up in the T&C of just about every “free” service sporting “AI” features. People will sell their likeness without even blinking
That’s a bit too much capitalist kool-aid right there.
Just because you get more rights about your likeness doesn’t mean you can sell your soul. The proposed law would just better protect you where other people could already abuse your likeness.
Best news ever!
gonna copyright my underwear features
Puffy pope. Lol.
I wonder how this works for twins or dopplegangers
Twins’ phenotypes diverge with age.
The lawsuits are opened at birth
I wonder how it works for public photography. If I take a picture of a crowd, is every single person a copyright strike?
Is it a copyright strike if your photograph contains a copyrighted logo?
BATTLE ROYAL
Technically isn’t Highlander?
And how will the EU act if deepfakes are found if their servers are in China, Russia, Vietnam, Malaysia or another country?
It most likely depends on whether or not the business operates in Denmark or not. Not sure how individual data laws will play with EU law but for sure you can still use the deepfakes on WeChat in China
I’m guessing any time you request the file it just says “REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” and then 404.
