So Google is spending millions on a program that makes them no money and in fact probably costs them and is hated by users and creators a like because of a former CEO? I think you need to wake up and smell the coffee. A company like Google does things because it either makes them money or it saves them money. It's not rocket science. But sure, the boys club is so strong the folks at Google are willing to take home le…

Are you replying to another comment? I didn't say any of the things you are arguing against. If not, please reread my comment and respond to things I'm actually claiming rather than whatever weird stuff you are projecting.

You didn't claim anything. You implied that the content id system is created to make a former CEO money and in an illegal scheme. Which is complete nonsense and treated as such.

Why not "once upon a time a beautiful but poor dude married a rich girl and everything was great"? Oh. Right.

Aladdin?

Aladdin walked from the slums to the palace, and married the princess?

I feel like some steps are missing, but I could be mistaken.

You’re right, the story is more than a sentence. You should remember though that Jasmine walked into the slums, met a poor thief and fell in love with him. He had to jump through some hoops and had a crisis of confidence before the end of the story though.

I claimed that the reasons behind the existence and structure of the Content ID system are more complicated than just "avoiding lawsuits". I also pointed out that the primary source for that explanation is a CEO who is already known to have engaged in illegal cartel-like behavior.

Rather than engaging with anything I've said, you just keep attacking things I didn't say. Calling things "nonsense" isn't an argument and is a sign that you don't have anything of substance to contribute.

It seems you might be arguing a that it's untenable to account for individual actions. While a precise measurement is certainly infeasible, there are numerous philosophical frameworks that look to aggregate morality on a scale that can be compared, e.g. Utilitarianism and Consequentialism.

As far as I am aware many people have tried to prove so under those 'philosophical frameworks', but they've never succeeded so far. If you know of one, can you link a proof?

What do you even mean by proof here?

I'll do it differently. A State is a collection of many people, and a lot of States do evil things. The dictatorships in the Middle East, for example, and there is another example I won't include, but you can guess. Do you not see those organizations (because States are organizations at the end of the day), as evil? If corporations in those countries help those regimes, do you think those corporations are still amoral?

Proof of an actual, bonafide, non self-contradicting, etc..., 'philosophical frameworks that look to aggregate morality on a scale that can be compared'?
