In blues music, there’s a long tradition of borrowing melodic and lyrical phrases, and in music generally, there are only so many ways to create a musical phrase. I think it’s becoming harder and harder to “own” one’s own music anymore. A performance/recording, yes, but to into a court and  claim that a melody is original and never been strung…[Read more]

I’m sure legal departments all over the place are working hard to protect creators and IP owners from AI rehash. Trouble is that tech departments are always a step ahead of them. And of course, patents, copyright and trademark protection are all very different. For instance, the complexity in licensing music for reproduction, publishing,…[Read more]

The word “different” is key to IP claims, and yet it doesn’t mean much at all without some definitional narrowing of the meaning for a particular purpose.

For example, even two guitars made by Fender, identical part numbers from their catalog, are different if only because they don’t occupy the same space. This one’s here, that one’s over there.

If I take what you said literally I’m both liable for referring the copyrighted work to the AI but not liable because the AI (“no human”) created.

I take that to mean that I (a third party) can use the generated art any way I want with no liability. As if in Public Domain. It is different from the original, so I’m not infringing on the origi…[Read more]

You don’t believe you died on the cross and were born again as Jesus Christ, Son of Jehovah/Yahweh?

Why would any theist believe that? Jesus died for your sins so that you don’t have to. He saved you from having to do so. Be grateful to him. Stop saying it means something else 🙂

You all seem to be making up your own versions.

The word “…[Read more]

God is a master at double, triple, quadruple-entendre. The Cross could represent all..

On what authority do you claim this?

It is.  Because there we died as humans and got born of God in His Godly Being.

In human life I am.  But we get born again from God and become His Child whom He raises in His Life.   As is the case for all life He created on planet earth.  So that makes me a God too.  As oppose to you being a human god creating your own life I am created by God to enjoy His Life…[Read more]

Other traditions utilizing The Cross does not prevent God from selecting it as His chosen medium of self-revelation.

“The Cross is the representation of The trinity”.

You are the only Christian I have heard ever say that. All the others tell me that the Cross is a representation of the death and, more importantly to them, the resurrection of Christ.

The concept of transformation or enlightenment through suffering and sacrifice is symbolized in the cruciform pose. This is most famously represented in Christian mythology with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.  So yes, “the Cross is the representation of The trinity” in your version of your religion. But in no way is the Cross, as a symbol, uniq…[Read more]

The proof explains why that is: 9 is The Triune Number.

Can you sum up in a paragraph, how you inject God into the number 9?  Maths is just maths.
