#creative rights

ok-i haven't posted anything like this but im very passionate about this and i love LOVE writing this essay type of content and getting all serious and professional and whatever SO THAT BEING SAID

It recently came to my attention that OpenAI is considering buying Pinterest. Pinterest-a platform that, for sixteen years, has been a sanctuary for creatives, a place where we gather inspiration, share our work, and build little visual worlds that feel personal and human. The idea that a company responsible for ChatGPT, DALL·E, and Sora might take ownership of a space built on authentic creativity feels surreal in the worst way.

There’s something painfully ironic about it. Pinterest has always been about the messy, imperfect, deeply human process of making things. It’s where artists pin half‑formed ideas, mood boards, color palettes, sketches, dreams. It’s where individuality thrives. And yet the company now circling it is the same one whose tools are actively replacing artists, flattening creative labor into something automated, polished, and soulless.

We’re already watching AI‑generated books flood marketplaces with copy‑and‑paste plots, AI “music” that sounds like a ghost of a real artist, AI art that imitates styles it never lived through, and AI videos stitched together without any lived experience behind them. These things look like art, but they don’t feel like art. They’re simulations-reflections without a source, echoes without an original sound. They strip away the flaws, the fingerprints, the humanity that make creative work meaningful in the first place.

To imagine that same company taking control of a platform that has been a refuge for creative expression feels like watching a safe space slowly swallowed by the very force that threatens it. It’s not just a business move-it feels symbolic. Another reminder that in the eyes of tech giants, nothing is sacred. Every community, every outlet, every corner of the internet that once belonged to people eventually becomes a target for acquisition, optimization, and monetization.

Created Ungenerated on April 25, 2026 in Portland is the first convention of its kind: a pledge protect artists' rights in the age of AI.

In a world where AI is accelerating faster than regulation, ethics, or public consciousness, this event serves as a bold declaration that art made by humans is not optional, replaceable, or obsolete.

This summit brings together artists, ethical businesses, publishers, legal advocates, and creative leaders who are ready to take a stand, to pledge to hire humans, to protect human expression, and to preserve and protect a future where technological progress does not erase the people who create beauty, meaning, and cultural memory.

Art without the human element is broken.

In his latest Vlive BTS V played a snippet of the song he wrote/composed. It is a beautiful rendition but it is not what he intended and not the duet he wanted. He originally wrote it with the mindset of singing it with BTS member Jimin.

So I understand why V would not want to release the song even though its good. I can see his reservation. It was the song he wrote/composed (with the help of the producers of course but his nonetheless) and to be told that he can’t release it how he originally intended because “it’s not appropriate for two men to sing it” is bs. 

Here is the very rough translation of the song and it’s not 100% accurate but I gave it my all.

“Happy Christmas, at the end of this winter/ there’s Christmas meant for you and me/ under the lighting, your smile makes the stars shine more/ Happy Christmas, at the end of white snow/ there’s you shinning brighter than ever/ feels your smile, shy smile of yours, feels good”

Everyone knows that they’ve always had a close friendship. If anything this is the first time I ever heard BH being reserved regarding lyrics/performance. I mean didn’t Jimin do a duet cover with Jungkook “We don’t talk anymore” 

Now this has nothing to do with ships! This is not me trying to ship them this is me being upset that they’re not being able to express themselves. Didn’t V wrote a song 4 o’clock with RM and didn’t he say that the person he was talking about was Jimin? (correct me if I’m wrong here) I know there is some speculations that the song was about his grandmother, and hey it well could be true, but he was able to express his feelings and talent! At the end of the day that’s all I care about. BTS has been popular not because they take the easy road or because they sing about superficial stuff. 

Copyrights exist to protect creators’ rights and ensure they get proper credit and compensation for their work. The recent Ilaiyaraaja vs. Dude Movie case is a perfect example

🔹 What Happened:

Mythri Movie Makers used some of Ilaiyaraaja’s songs without prior permission.

After legal action, they paid ₹50 Lakh to settle and legally use some songs.

Other songs were removed due to the court’s injunction.

🔹 Why It Matters:

Protects Creators: Composers, writers, and artists earn fairly for their work.

Encourages Innovation: Artists are motivated to create original content knowing their rights are protected.

Prevents Legal Issues: Unauthorized use can lead to lawsuits, fines, or content being removed.

🔹 Takeaway for Filmmakers & Fans: Always secure music and content rights before production. As viewers, respecting copyrights ensures that artists continue to create the music and films we love.

💡 Think About It: If your favorite song was used without permission, would you pay for it or risk legal trouble?

Extended license isn’t just a legal detail; it’s respecting an artist's creative rights when their art becomes part of your product. The moment you create templates, prints, merch, or downloadable designs using someone else's visuals, you’re stepping into a space where permission truly matters.

Artists and creators both deserve the peace of mind that comes from knowing their work (and their income) is fully protected.
