Wouldn’t a more accurate metaphor be “let’s train a network on all music, to generate new music”, which includes Beatles, and may generate songs that contain the same chords as the Beatles used?
- dec0dedab0de 5y agoYes, but may also use the same chord progressions, lyrics, or melodies. Could even say it contains snippits of the actual recordings, depending on how you look at it
- stingraycharles 5y agoSure but then it’ll definitely be harder to prove it’s actual copyright infringement, especially when only a very small part of the song may have some snippets of the Beatles. Could it then, perhaps, be considered fair use?
- jeremyjh 5y agoYes you'd have exactly the same kind of lawsuits and arguments that already exist today around fair use. It doesn't matter if a tool creates the new work or a person creates it (without tools?!!?) because ultimately it is a person who claims the new work as their own and distributes it, and that is the person who will get sued by the record companies if their work is too derivative. Establishing the line for "too derivative" in any particular case is a very lucrative field already I'm sure.
