People are uploading audio and video files of an A.I. voice cover song that's based on voice actress Erica Lindbeck's voice on the Archive website. She had requested that people take down the song because said song contains inappropriate lyrics being sung in her voice's likeness.

Some of the uploaders have even been bragging about how they don't care how they're disrespecting the voice actress's wishes and feelings or the ethics of using other peoples' voices to make A.I. song covers in the summary section.

I would like to request Archive.org to take down these files that are being uploaded by these cruel and selfish people. I have already flagged their posts and had sent an email to info@archive.org, so if there's anything more that I can do in regards to this issue please inform me.

Tell you what.

Still don't agree with Erica Lindbeck on copyright (abolish that garbo), but still can't support those going "hurr durr total voice actor extinction".

I'll do it, even if I think you're just as hyperbolic. C'est parti

Perhaps if you sent the uploaders, ssj4pan@gmail.com ,matthewfallah7@gmail.com and TheBahamonde@gmail.com, an email explaining your position on this horror they will stop it.

I doubt it. They don't seem to be the type of people who'll stop what they're doing without the site's staff getting involved, especially since some of them were even gloating over how much controversy they're causing by uploading the A.I. video on here.

PD_Pol is correct, though. You could have written a nice email politely explaining how you feel and why your feelings take priority over the law, but you chose the latter option - one star reviews, swear words and insults, which of course, achieves nothing and will only make people double-down on their actions.
If you took the time to read the description of the upload, you would understand my stance. Media is being removed due to censorship and not due to concerns regarding copyright. Until creating material with an AI voice trained on somebody without their permission is made illegal in California, the state in which The Internet Archive is based, there is no legal precedent for removing AI covers.
The important thing is that this cover is archived. If there is already 7 other uploads, mine isn't needed. I could be convinced to remove it.

I don't care about your stance on censorship. Erica Lindbeck is in the right to report people who uploaded the A.I. video of her voice singing inappropriate lyrics. She requested people to not replicate her voice for A.I. generated songs and they responded back with harassment and mockery. It's obvious that sharing a trashy meme song means more to you and those other uploaders than having any sense of empathy and human decency. I doubt you'd consider the notion of taking down your upload since your take on censorship means more to you than respecting Erica Lindbeck's wishes.

Future historians, take note. This is not how you ask someone to take something down. The video will stay, not because it needs to, but because your vitriolic response has created a self-fulfilling prophecy.

There has been a slight misunderstanding. I posted your email addresses with a specific purpose. That purpose was not to have a polite discourse with evil AI uploaders.

Then you will have your way. I won't be responding to this thread any more. Heaven forfend we have a polite discussion with the "evil AI uploader" and politely ask them to take the video down.
