Everything in AI is built on copyright infringement, so redistributing Blizzard assets while slapping an MIT license on everything is par for the course.

It has been 24 years since release, in any place that isn't completely captured by big capital interests it would be fair use. This is such a forced reach. There are plenty of good arguments to be made re: big LLM providers and copyright, yet you're weakening all of them by choosing the worst example.

It's quasi-legal only as long as Activision execs are unaware.

Fair use doesn't mean you can placate any license you want on it.

The Beatles released "She Loves You" much more than 24 years ago. You don't get to redistribute their music however you want. Me pointing out that AI bros disregard basic common sense and the law as part of pursuing their objectives doesn't weaken anything, it reinforces how they should be held accountable.

To be fair, MIT is correctly applied to the source code. Voice resources are of course licensed and copyrighted under other terms.

This is the reason why there is a distinction between "Declared license" and "Concluded license".

First thought as well. How is this legal?
