Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hey, folks, this is Peter Boykin, and uh you know
what is Hollywood trying to lock up the DNA of creativity.
I'll have it here, but I read it, talk about it,
and I'm parked out here and we'll be doing these
live from park wherever the hell I'm at, because if
I'm at home and got the desktop, I'm going to
do the intricate stuff. So you can check out this
(00:26):
at go writnews dot com. And uh so it starts
with the glow of the.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Encredits and you can also read this as well.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
The music swells, the logos fade, and right before the
screen goes dark, a new warning appears. This content may
be you may not be used to train AI. On
the surface, it's just a legal line tacked onto How
to Train Your Dragon, Jurassic World Rebirth and The Bad
(00:59):
Guys two. But underneath it's a battle cry from Hollywood,
one that could reshape not just technology, but the future
of free expression itself.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Now, Universal Pictures is not alone.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Alongside with Disney, the studio has falled filed lawsuits against
the AI platform mid Journey, accusing it of systematically violating
copyright by enabling users to recreate iconic characters.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Well, the defense is fair.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Use the same principle that protects parity, satire, or social
commentary in the Constitutional Republic, the same principle that allows
you to draw inspiration from the culture around you without
asking the original creator for permission. I mean, imagine now,
if you use an AI program to make yourself look
(01:56):
like I don't know a Laddin or you know Jasmine
on the Princesses.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Well, they're saying, no, you can't do that. You can't
do that. It's our intellectual property. But the thing is,
if you drew that character.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
And you put your spin to it, your creativity to it,
and you made it a little different, you made your parody.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Then they wouldn't say much about it.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I have somebody I used to know you used to
do a lot of Haunted Mansion items and Disney tried
to copyright you didn't try to fuss out a multiple times,
and he's like, no, these are different, these are inspired.
So that's the thing. AI inspired. How else are we
(02:41):
going to do things? This is the stuff we want
in the future.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Remember, we fight for what's right. Because it's time to
go right.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Said boom Boom boo, Go right, go right to the paper,
(03:34):
right right speaks, spooks go right, go right? What events
stops stops speak?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
So the stakes, the parody, the comedy, on the right
to remix. Under US law, parody and satire have been
recognized as essential to the health of a freeer society.
They allow citizens to question power, poke fun at institutions,
(04:45):
and reinterpret culture without fear of censorship. I mean, people
might not like south Park right now with all the
junk going on with Donald Trump and Christinnum and Charlie
Kirk and etc. Some people find it funny, some people
find it rude. I am in between on it. I
still have to catch up on this episode because I
(05:07):
did promise that I we'll be doing a full podcast
on each episode of south Park, especially when they're talking
about political subjects, and I have to talk about the
one with Ice, and.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
That'll be more of a bigger production. I'll be working
on it soon.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
But in the meantime, I didn't want to stop doing everything,
you know, But we'll get back to it.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So this is.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Why artists can lampoon political figures, why comedians can parody
blockbuster films. I'll be back, oh when I get sued
for saying I'll be back, and why musicians can borrow
melodies for transformative works. And I'll tell you already, You've
got this web Atsuno dot com that I pay like
(05:57):
ten dollars a month for and I can make all
sorts of metal. And they're already in lawsuits and stuff
talking about oh well you're borrowing from the other works
to train your you know your computer. Yeah, well it
tries to fake it. It makes brand new works, uncopyrightable works.
(06:19):
You can't copyright notes specifically, so a combination of notes
is what happens. And you got to get that information
from somewhere. So their whole argument over can you use
music to help create a music app? That's the problem
(06:43):
with limitations. When the legals come in, they stop creativity.
I mean you have to come up with some idea.
I mean, every single thing out there, how do you build?
So do we have to start paying everybody? When we
learn history and learn works and learn things, because learning
in itself, we have to learn for things that exist,
(07:04):
and there's always the understanding of what's totally bladed copyright
and what's inspired.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
By So.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
If a human filmmaker can watch Jurassic Park, absorbed style
and create a new movie inspired by its pacing and atmosphere.
Why should an AI model be banned from learning these
same visual patterns. I mean, look at Seth Macfarlan's Orville.
It's an homage to Star Trek. It's not Star Trek.
(07:41):
There was the movie not Starship Troopers. There was one
with Tim Allen, almost twenty something years ago. They go
up in the space and it was it was loosely
but you know, and it had the structure of Star Trek.
But Star Trek took bari from other things. We had
John Wick or John We had the John of Mars.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
That was like the original Superman.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I mean, if you was to go back and back
and back, we've reinvented the real so many times.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
You can always complain and.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Argue about copyright, but innately, we are all Americans, all
humans on this world.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
We're all doing the same stuff. We're talking about the
same things.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
There's creativity and then there's building on creativity. So creativity,
whoever human art, machine assisted has always been a process
of learning from what came before and transforming it into
something new. Michelangelo studied ancient sculptures. Bob Dylan borrowed Folk Belies,
(08:52):
George Lucas channel Japanese cinema. If this learning process becomes theft,
then all art stands accused. I mean, Michael Jackson borrowed
a lot on jpop, and people have borrowed on Michael
Jackson through the years.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
So why is this a constitutional issue? Why am I
even talking about it?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
This fight is about more than corporate profits, because you know,
sometimes something's better than corporate profits.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
It's about wherever.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Free speech and fair use can survive in the age
of AI and in our constitutional republic. The First Amendment
protects the ability to comment on parody and reinterpret execsting works.
These protections were never meant to vanish when the tool
(09:42):
changes from a paint brush to a processor. So if
Hollywood's position becomes law, the precedent could cripple independent artists, journalists,
and creators. Imagine a world where every influence, every vision,
visual style, every melody, every recognizable reference requires corporate permission.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
This is not liberty.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
That's a licensed culture controlled by a handful of intellectual property.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Car tales.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I mean, we all know Disney movies, you know sci fi.
That's cultural that's cultural reference. You imagine we had to
pay like taxes every time we talk about I'll be
back and you know, and you know, I don't know
that's what she said, and other things like that. Yeah,
to type it out. Oh, we're not gonna be restricted
(10:38):
to what we say because it might be copyrighted as
a as.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
A verse, like you can't handle the truth.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I mean, folks, we can't let corporates get a buck
off everything.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
That's all I said basically on that.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
So on the bigger picture, though, The danger here is
that copying is being refined to being influenced by and
if influence itself is outlawed. If outlawed, then the creative
process collapses. True plagiarism stealing entire works without transformation should
(11:14):
be punished, of course, but an ai trained on thousands
of images to learn the concept of a dinosaur in
a city is no more theft than a filmmaker who
grew up watching Godzilla movies. So we must remember that
culture belongs to the people. It is a living conversation
(11:36):
passed from generation to generation, reshaped and retold in new ways.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I mean, we have to.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Chase down the generation that created fire and start paying
them for every time we you know, create a fire
the moment, the moment that conversation requires corporate approval, it
ceases to be free expression and becomes controlled speech.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
They went on to beat in your mind, put a
lock on the word you find say your voice is
a crime to speak, Kate, keep us trying to make
us weak, partly no privilege.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Here, it's right.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
We make it clear.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
You can't want to mark what's free the first a man,
it's the key. We won't sign away the sound we're
taking back on the ground, from the.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Streets to the silver screen, our cultures along, our cultious scene,
our cultuous scene.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Culture those people. Let's fall from the canvas to the beach.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Let it go.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
No permission, no chase, just ruely gott make coature the
longs to the thing world when you want them them.
Nor can't stop this way.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
We disn't free.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
We walk be We lose this, We lose the flame.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Every song and every frail, every s that speaks the
truth is pot of freedoms living Bruise Day.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Can license while we feel they can't.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
It's real.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
It's a vision, creation, afirmation and for nation.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Raise your voice, turn it louder.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
It's been the decks take back the power hardly Wood
can't write them along.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Our freedom's bigger.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Then they're trong. Culture the long still the people hear.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
The call from the underground to.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
The knee, be to me when breaking through the rhyme
to create, loo to you, culture, bel to the people.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Tonight will dare till the morn and.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Life roll the yard through the street. We are the
culture all the way.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Again.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Here's the commentary, folks, Is Hollywood about to own the
DNA of creative creativity? The free speech battle over AI
training could change everything because Universal Pictures in Disney are
taking AI to court, warning that training algorithms on films
is copyright theft. But critics say this fight is really
(15:21):
about corporate control over culture. Whoever parody, satire, and creative
influence will survive in America's constitutional republic. So this is
my hashtag go right with Peter Boyk and commentary. This
fight is not just about AI. It is about whether
a handful of corporations get to own the very building
(15:42):
blocks of our culture. If they succeed, it will not
just be algorithms under attacked. It will be every artist,
every filmmaker, every musician, every sire tirest every podcaster who
dares the riff.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
On the world around them.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
The First Amendment does not come if a Hollywood watermark.
Parody and commentary are not privileges handed down by studios.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
They are rights guaranteed to the people.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
If we give them away, we will not just lose
creative freedom, we will lose one of the most viral
and vital checks on power in a free society. Culture
belongs to the people, not the gatekeepers. And if we
let them lock it away, we are not just giving
(16:36):
up movies. We are giving up the right to create
without permission hashtag go right because freedom and expression are
not a licensed product, and overall, universals cracked down on AI.
Training is more than a fight over technology. If Hollywood wins,
(16:57):
it could it could gut fair use, make it outlaw
cultural influence, and hand corporations control over the very DNA
of creativity. This is not just an AI issue, It's
a First Amendment right over whether Americans can still create,
parody and comment freely without corporate permission. So let me
(17:20):
know in the comments. I'll share this around what you
think about this. Let's open up the discussion. Let's talk
about it and remember, folks, it is time to go right.
God bless peace. Go to gowrightnews dot com. Go to screaker,
look for go right News. Go on to Amazon. I
mean it's on Amazon, Spotify, pretty much every auto pot,
(17:43):
auto audio, pat pat podcast or whatever out there, you're
gonna find hashtag go right, Peter Boykin. I get multiple
different ways of putting it out there. We're gonna put
it on YouTube, We're gonna have it this on Rumble,
and these formats are gonna be.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
A little different.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I'll remix it a little bit afterwards, but hey, it's
out here for you to listen and here, and we'll
have the full production and then we'll have these things
where I'm just doing in front of the camera outside
of my car, talking to you anyway to get the
message out to God bless everybody.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Peace,
