Unprintable: Artists Against Authority

I am absolutely beside myself with excitement to announce the launch of Unprintable.

Unprintable is an online free shop, where original artwork and arts resources are released into the public domain.

Everything listed here is free to use, copy and remix any way you like. You can print off hi-res artwork to decorate your apartment, or to use in your own projects. You can use the writing in your own zines, anthologies or performances. You can put it on a t-shirt. You can read it on the radio. You can paint it on a truck. It's up to you, entirely and forever.

The collection will be updated continuously, on an unfixed schedule, with contributions from a wide range of named and anonymous artists and activists. You can read the FAQ for a full rundown of what Unprintable is and why it exists, but these are the really important parts:

Can I download/print/use the work listed here? Yes. Can I use it for [X]? You can do whatever you want with it forever. But what if I want to [Y]? You can do whatever you want with it forever. Why do this? A few reasons: 1. We want a space to just share things, no strings attached. We recognise that copyright is an irrational system that was designed to protect the profit interests of publishing middlemen and IP hoarders. In fact, copyright is often weaponised against the creators it pretends to protect. As long as it exists, we are unlikely to win any other form of protection for our work, and we are profoundly limited from engaging in the kind of communal artistic and storytelling practices that were the norm around the world for thousands of years. 2. Radical art is often unprintable. Profit motives make people cautious. A lot of print-on-demand or local print shop services will refuse artwork with controversial, sensitive or political content. This is very frustrating when these themes are the focus of so much of our work (and indeed our lives). Rather than waste any more breath trying to explain why a trans artist might want to print the word ‘faggot’, we can give our work away for free. Got a printer? It’s yours. 3. It feels good. Sharing is joyful. It’s the reason we love making things in the first place. We don’t write poems because we look forward to filleting them for consumption, or layer colours so that we can sell a canvas by the ounce. We have only ever wanted to be able to support ourselves so that we can make, but that relationship is deeply dysfunctional under capitalism. We made these things, and we want you to have them. It doesn’t need to be complicated.

I'll write up some more posts introducing the launch collection soon. In the meantime...be free, enjoy, explore, have fun!

I cannot stress enough that fair use does not, and never has protected works of art at all. Period. Point blank. Never has.

You basically only get to use fair use if you're criticising a piece of media. Parody is defined so specifically that section is a joke.

Your fanart and fanfic does not fall under fair use. They just cant do anything about it because nobodys really profiting from it so they can't say you're hurting profits. That's why AO3 won't let you make posts regarding money and stuff.

Stop making the assumption that laws are always just, the law only supports the hoarding of capital, that includes capitalizing the creativity of our brains.

i don't think people understand how voice AIs work. just saw someone claim that any and all use of all AI (no matter context or what it does) is bad because theft is inherit.

no, actually, voice ais are generated on large banks of consent given voices. the 'stolen' parts of voice ai is then taking some voicelines of a character and the computer fine tunes what it knows a human voice to sound like.

despicable when company does it? yes.

despicable when people do it? no ofcourse not, it's parody at worst.

actually let me expand this to all AI - AI used by people is completely fine, AI used by companies is not.

copyright is an inheritly stupid idea, and to claim AI 'steals' anything is simply bowing down and praying to disney/adobe/big companies.

Looks like I angered someone and am now a "sell out" cause I'm against a shitty thing called "copyright" lol

If you can't deprive someone of ownership, then you can't steal. Simple as that. Copying data, ideas, or whatever is not theft. It's theft if taking it is forcefully depriving someone of something they possess.

Do they still have said thing after you "stole" it? Yes? Then it's not theft! Hope that clears things up :)

Here's a little 8 track album I made recently! There are some bonus tracks as well =w= Lots of super dense mashcore nonsense with dark IDM interludes. Really going for a reizokore sound, but my own reizokore sound!

I'm really happy with how the album art came out. It was originally an image generated with Dalle 3, which I then manually retouched, painted over, and integrated into the larger composition.

Just a heads-up: everything I make is CC0/public domain. Please feel free to copy/"steal" my work.

Im a firm supporter/believer in "Free Culture". This is an idea and understanding that people oughtent have to ask permission to create. Its a growing understanding among artists and audiences that people shouldn’t have to ask permission to copy, share, and use each other’s work. Infact we do it constantly in the forms of fanfiction, fanart, edits, reanimates, comic dubs, amvs, etc etc. If you don’t like the results thats okay of cours, but I dont consider it fair that another has the power to supress any creative ideas or expressions you may have. Especially if its non monetary. Company have often tried to squash new media or keep the monoply on it like this, even though they dident even originally create the product(Disney is a fantatstic example of this, owning Star Wars, Marvel and building there company originally on PD stories made into movies.) Creativity belongs to everyone and should be free.

Part of the reason I'm vocally anti-copyright is that I actually do work in a real life archive and I see what happens to the vast majority of copyrighted works when the original rights holder dies or retires or even just changes email address, which is nothing. They just moulder in obscurity never seen or touched by anyone because the process of trying is so time consuming and prone to failure that it's not worth it.

Seriously if you want to destroy a work of art one of the most effective things you can do besides burning it is put it in a trust.

Funfact: I am both anti copyright and anti AI, these are not mutually exclusive ideas.

[Hint: I hate AI for horking resources we need to survive and think art is an inherently transformative process]

If you think ideas can’t be stolen you’re a fucking idiot FYI like get fucking real

Nothing is deprived when copying occurs. No one loses anything as a result. The only time it's a problem is under a statist capitalist system granting exclusivity and favoring statist cronies over others, and at that point the solution isn't more of the state regulating shit, it's to tell the state to fuck off. I ain't about to run to the state for help when it's the state that fucks things over. While you might be fine to sit and whine to daddy to put a bandaid on a headache to make it better, I'd rather we actually fight the core issue, and it's not people copying other people's shit.

"Weeks after The New York Times updated its terms of service (TOS) to prohibit AI companies from scraping its articles and images to train AI models, it appears that the Times may be preparing to sue OpenAI. The result, experts speculate, could be devastating to OpenAI, including the destruction of ChatGPT's dataset and fines up to $150,000 per infringing piece of content.

NPR spoke to two people "with direct knowledge" who confirmed that the Times' lawyers were mulling whether a lawsuit might be necessary "to protect the intellectual property rights" of the Times' reporting.

Neither OpenAI nor the Times immediately responded to Ars' request to comment.

If the Times were to follow through and sue ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, NPR suggested that the lawsuit could become "the most high-profile" legal battle yet over copyright protection since ChatGPT's explosively popular launch. This speculation comes a month after Sarah Silverman joined other popular authors suing OpenAI over similar concerns, seeking to protect the copyright of their books.

Of course, ChatGPT isn't the only generative AI tool drawing legal challenges over copyright claims. In April, experts told Ars that image-generator Stable Diffusion could be a "legal earthquake" due to copyright concerns.

But OpenAI seems to be a prime target for early lawsuits, and NPR reported that OpenAI risks a federal judge ordering ChatGPT's entire data set to be completely rebuilt—if the Times successfully proves the company copied its content illegally and the court restricts OpenAI training models to only include explicitly authorized data. OpenAI could face huge fines for each piece of infringing content, dealing OpenAI a massive financial blow just months after The Washington Post reported that ChatGPT has begun shedding users, "shaking faith in AI revolution." Beyond that, a legal victory could trigger an avalanche of similar claims from other rights holders.

Unlike authors who appear most concerned about retaining the option to remove their books from OpenAI's training models, the Times has other concerns about AI tools like ChatGPT. NPR reported that a "top concern" is that ChatGPT could use The Times' content to become a "competitor" by "creating text that answers questions based on the original reporting and writing of the paper's staff."

As of this month, the Times' TOS prohibits any use of its content for "the development of any software program, including, but not limited to, training a machine learning or artificial intelligence (AI) system.""
