  • Obviously I can’t really answer that question. It’s nuanced I can’t give a black and white answer.

    Notice I said chords, music isn’t just chords though. I mentioned it because they have been copyright cases where people have tried to claim that they can own certain chords or certain chord progression, the courts have decided that isn’t the case. You can own the composition but not the progression.

    AI music is an entire piece, theoretically an original piece, you could of course make the arguement that it’s just cutting it up bits of pre-existing work and sticking them back together but you could also make that arguement of a human as well. Copyright law isn’t really fit for the 21st century and it certainly isn’t fit to deal with the existence of AI, but that’s nothing new. I can go online right now and find music that sounds like the Imperial March, is that copyright violation? The courts don’t think so.

    There are millionaires and billionaires in Europe though, so clearly it is possible to have decent work-life balance and still support the excesses of a rich upper class, assuming that’s a requirement.

    The amount of productivity lost because of paid leave is almost negligible, study after study has shown that people are less productive the more overworked they are. So staff with no time off work longer hours but are less productive for those hours, the end result is it pretty much equals out. If it didn’t, the US economy would be doing better then it is, €1 is $1.16.

    Those are two different things. Tracking the location via cell network just gives an approximate location, anywhere within the cell towers reception area. GPS data doesn’t get shared with anyone unless you choose to share it.

    If companies want your GPS data then you have to share it with them.
