I don't really care one way or the other.
It seems to be the big hot new thing to scream at.
But I just don't really care enough about it to join the pitchfork mob.
I've seen people use it to make some pretty halfway decent cub drawings though...
It is inevitable though that technology will "make such and such activity easier."
I mean, people had freak outs against Samplers and Synthesizers and Digital Audio Workstations.
"It will make music too easy and people will stop learning real instruments."
Whatever... sorry I was never great at playing notes in 100% correct scale and pitch.

I guess the big "moral issue" is style stealing, people copying your style.
Biz Markie (a rapper from the late 80s) got sued because he sampled some song.
Until that landmark court case, people just sampled anything they wanted to.

Maybe the "art scene" is gunna hafta start adapting similar laws?
The guy who made the famous "Amen Break" died never seeing a cent of royalties,
despite the fact that the "Amen Break" was one of the most sampled drum loops of all time.
If Copyright Law had worked differently and in his favor, he could have been rich.
