Re: Why AI transcription?

I love everyone defending *format shifting* being illegal. The arguments for it are amazing.

I'll be ready to tell you how stupid or broken against the law or "freeloaders" you all are, when someone takes your use case to court because "you are not allowed to run on a VM/backwards compatibility/etc" because you should have purchased the _new_ format version.

***An audio book has paid for both the encoding (story) and the art/performance (reader/speaker) in royalties AND wages to both the author and the performer***

And these people want to double dip and charge a second time for the text/encoding just because someone hard of hearing wishes a little assistance in understanding was that "one time they won" or "they won one time" because of hearing/dyslexia?

All of you, perhaps one day you'll get isolated, and told "you're illegal" and know how it feels.
