  • I have a question though: a licence isn’t the same thing as a terms of service document, is it? When you’re reading a ToS, you’re about to start using a service, and you want to know what are your duties and rights regarding the service’s usage. When you’re reading a licence, you’re about to use software, that doesn’t necessarily need to be given to you through a service, and you want to know what are your duties and rights while using the software. But I don’t think that using another person’s software is legally equivalent using a service, now is it? Food for thought.

I was watching Avatar 2 the other day and one of my friends said something about the graphics like “oh, that’s probably AI”, and I angrily replied “do you have any idea of how many dozens, if not hundreds of people painstakingly worked on this movie’s CGI??”
