Unfortunately, the article doesn't really say why it's necessary with personality rights already in place, or how copyright would apply differently.
βIn the bill we agree and are sending an unequivocal message that everybody has the right to their own body, their own voice and their own facial features, which is apparently not how the current law is protecting people against generative AI,β Danish culture minister [said].
I watched this video report/interview earlier. She found out her voice was being used in British railways as the announcer without her knowledge or consent.
You would think this was already a thing, it seems incredibly obvious and intuitive
It is a thing. Personality Rights. They exist in Danish law already. Maybe this new proposal is something else, something more specific or closes some loophole.
I guess this would work, but why not make a specific law? Copyright is meant for creative acts. Humans are created, in an act, but, never mind.
The answer seems obvious. This is simply a gift to famous people, who will be able to demand licensing fees without having to do any additional work. Just neo-feudalism.
The pitch makes as much sense as trying to sell ordinary copyright as a way to stop people forging documents.
So is there a fair use exemption for satire?
It also would still allow parodies and satire, so some of the standard doctrine of fair use would still apply.
Read the article...
Denmark is literally the best country

Just wait until you find out how they treat refugees...
Just wait until you find out how refugees treat the very people who pay to put food on their tables and a roof over their heads.
aka "I have no empathy for other people" and "I only read right-wing media".
Refugees are a group of people that's very heterogenous. They don't have one common way of treating Denmark. Except for the 'asking Denmark for asylum' of course.
Denmark does treat refugees a certain way, if by Denmark we mean their government, and not Danes in general. The government has certain policies which define their treatment. Basically they're trying to win the race to the bottom: 'treating them worse than other countries do', hoping refugees will go to other countries instead. It's a shortsighted tactic because now we here in the Netherlands as well as in other countries, are joining the race to the bottom. Which means collectively we are losing our humanity, while still largely getting equal amounts of refugees at our borders. Unless of course you're willing treat people so poorly, that even a warzone is more acceptable. But what in the world are we defending if we are willing to lose all human decency over it?
Wrong again.
Sure, daddy "all refugees are ungrateful criminals" cool
TouchΓ©, but in my defense, all countries suck, and mostly just serve the 1%, so the bar wasnβt high to begin with
Maybe there's a correlation
DoppelgΓ€ngerβs are derivative works.
there can be only one
