One cover has also been made available for free as a digital download.

Not quite. All fifty of them have been made available for free as digital downloads to anyone who can right-click and save.

"AI" is the ultimate corruption of humanity by capital. It's the tool that can finally be used to consume the works of creatives and experts, and create a facsimile totally owned and exploited by others. It's the final distillation of everything good about creativity for the human mind into a driver of profit.

The next decade is going to be horrifying.

Groundbreaking, potentially world-changing tech, and the 'bro-dorks are using it to put creatives out of work.

It'll be coming for programmer jobs next, and I don't think they'll find - nor will they deserve - much solidarity.

I have one. Not the one I want, because we've totally devalued all human creative work, but a job.

The picture was taken at UCLA and California has very aggressive right of publicity laws. Beyond that, IANAL and I've never actually read the text of those specific laws. There's also a big difference between being in the background of a photograph and it being a closeup of your face. Given that this was an album cover made 17 years ago, there could be statute of limitations issues as well. And generally, I'm in favor of any resolution that doesn't involve giving money to lawyers.

The good news is that private ownership is on its way out.

The bad news is that corporate ownership isn't.

Thanks to Disney, it's 95 years from publication for works for hire or 70 years after the death of the artist.

/The real death of the artist, not the "Death of the Artist" as a means of interpreting the content.

A shoot for an album cover is work for hire, unless otherwise agreed, and the rights go to whoever paid the photog
