Denmark plans to become the first country in the world to give its citizens copyright over their faces and voices in an effort to clamp down on “deepfakes” — videos, audio clips and images that are digitally doctored to spread false information.
Having copyright means nothing if the people can’t enforce it. How mch does it cost for a normal citizen to take one (1) corporation to a jury trial, again?
We don’t go by American rules here. We can take a corporation to court. Not only that, but Unions are a big thing here for that specific reason.
Anecdotally whenever I encounter someone from Denmark, they are always downplaying their home country and saying how great they think the USA is; I think they have a cultural propensity to try and keep Denmark a secret from outsiders.
Ah janteloven, danish humility.
I live in Denmark, used to live in the US. Lots of problems still, but it’s basically just across the board better in most ways to me.
I think the copyright law is a great step. Yeah, there’s probably some holes in the law and it doesn’t fix everything but I don’t know what else could be done, nor what other countries are doing nearly this much
Can you make your face and voice Public domain or Unlicense it to allow anyone to freely use it?
Good article except that they called this:
The clip, which was presented as a dream sequence and clearly labelled as AI-manipulated content, prompted debate about the acceptable boundaries of the technology.
A grey area. Come on, that’s very clearly satire.
