The training question seems much more difficult.
The main problem that has been the topic is a simpler one - about the produced work. If you exactly reproduce someone's existing code (doesn't matter if you copy by flipping bits one by one or which technology you use), isn't it a copyright violation?
I'm kind of imagining a Rube Goldberg machine that spells out the quake invsqrt function in the sand, now...
- wongarsu 5y agoYes, if you play a video from Netflix while recording your screen, transcode that video to MPEG2 and use a red laser to write a complex encoding of that MPEG2 bitstream onto a plastic disk, then send that by mail to your friend, a court won't care about the complexity of that Rube Goldberg machine. They will just say it's a clear copyright violation since you distributed a Netflix movie by DVD. With programming, there's the further complication what constitutes a work. But quakes invsqrt certainly qualifies, just like that one function from the Oracle vs Google case.
