    I don’t think I’m a sociopath. But then, who does? ;>

    I take your point, and I’m not saying that it wasn’t tasteless or insensitive (although, in fairness, 15 years would be a looooong time for unresolved grief). I’m just saying that it doesn’t seem that any laws were broken, so it isn’t clear why these creators settled.

      You’re telling me nobody owns his shows, the material used to train the LLM, whatever trademark is used to allow redistributing his works etc just because he’s dead?

          I think that’s up to the courts to decide and perhaps in this case, the company decided a verdict against them would be more damaging than a settlement.

              You did. I misread at the time or not at all.

              I guess it might have been a waste of time they’d rather have skipped. Same as this chain of replies might be for you.
              Huh.
