This is a pleasant surprise. If photo editing is legal (and it obviously should be) then editing the frames of videos should be legal. Modern technology just allows for individual people to feasibly do large number of frames.
It's good to democratize what was previously the domain of only institutions and corporations. As for the claims of ownership on derived works from public data, well, the only reason that's even being entertained as a valid legal claim is technological ignorance and the catchy name "deepfakes".
- sewercake 6y agoWhile I'm not sure where I stand on this ruling, there's a flaw in this form of reasoning. Namely, I don't think this is merely (or at least usefully) reducible to 'efficiently editing a series of frames'. The ability to do so has emergent effects, and that should be taken seriously!

Mass surveillance with million cameras and face recognition is the same as operative with a camera, films that get developed and then processed by an overworked analyst using drawers with physical files. Just a lot faster.
