   Another day, another company used a popular YouTuber's voice without taking permission. Of course, shitty AI is part of it. They stole voice to build their shity products. Why is YouTube not stopping these thieves? Google is too busy to block Adblockers, but they do nothing to stop AI companies.

     @nixCraft I think that it would help when law enforcement would make legal boundries for ai and empersonation.

     Try uploading a video on YouTube with a popular song playing in the background and see what the YouTube copyright algorithm does to your video (it gets blocked because of threat of lawsuit from music companies). Why can't they do this for human voices? There was even story that said: Police play Disney music to prevent video of them on patrol being posted online.

     I think all YouTube channels should operate from the EU zone. In that zone, there are consistent laws to prevent this kind of abuse, and most tech companies are afraid of fines. I'm not sure if non-EU residents can register a company in EU zone. Even if you register a company in the EU, it will complicate your tax situation. So don't take this as legal advice. Ha!

     @nixCraft But i think the EU is pretty far ahead of america in this regard. EU law enforcement is also not scared by the might of US big tech companies. Seeing the lawsuites filed against Apple and Microsoft

     @nixCraft Have encountered something like this. Uploaded a scientist's seminar presentation to the office YouTube account, and it got blocked because his presentation apparently included a very short BBC news clip. Bang.

     @simonzerafa @nixCraft this only grants the ability to start a business in Estonia and does not grant any citizenship or actual personal residency.

     @XEJKnol @simonzerafa I believe the main point is not about obtaining citizenship or personal residency, but rather about establishing a business in the EU and registering creative activities such as YouTube channels, books, drawings, etc. as trademarks. This provides protection for the company within the EU regardless of the individual's residency status. However, I agree that this can be a complicated process. It would be best if the USA passed a law to prevent this kind of abuse.

     Estonia might be an option for non-EU residents and 100% remote 🙂

     @nixCraft it feels so good to say "fuck IA companies". What makes me loathe the IA movement, is the lack of focus for stuff which is really needed, like using it for fucking science, discovering cure for diseases that are hunting millions or sometimes, few.
