Won't work. You can't use the same key twice and they all already have been activated (for PC).

I had a feeling the PC keys would've been activated already. As for the Xbox 360 and PS3 keys, why would the host mention twice that the keys will be activated at a later date? Also, some keys were shown more than once on the live stream. Surely they'd know that people would be quick to activate them (assuming they'd work).

Host got it wrong. Keys are already activatable since four days ago. It's the open beta that opens "tomorrow" (US time) for the ones with the early access keys (and goes completely open on the 29th).

The only thing he was right about, is the "if you weren't fast enough, someone grabbed the key before you". And I guess were shown more than once, because they had limited number of them and the tournament went on longer than they expected so they went on repeat mode.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Anyway, here's an awesome Battlefield 3 montage by Sgt. Enigma. You may know him for his Bad Company 2 montages.

What's there to wait for? Just try to activate one of the keys for PC on Origin, and see what it will say to you. And keys from the giveaway by i3d.net were already been activated, five days ago.

I would not be surprised if this is all based on American times since that is where EA's main headquarters are located, and here it is only 8:30 AM on the East Coast. If EA is on the West Coast, it is still 5:30 AM at their offices. So I would keep that in mind. They never gave an exact time, and more than likely than are going by UA time, even if DICE themselves are not in the US.

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
