This is interesting.
But I think you'd violate Disney's copyright by uploading their pictures to the website.
To make it work, Disney would have to upload the pictures themselves and agree to the TOS.
- heavyset_go 5y agoIs GitHub making sure that license terms are being met when they train Copilot on hosted code? Because anyone can rehost code that they don't have the rights to, and it seems like GitHub will still train Copilot on it.
- tompazourek 5y agoIf someone is rehosting code that they don't have copyright to, it's like if someone would upload a pirated movie to YouTube. YouTube will still make money from it for some time (selling ads, luring customers in, ...), then the copyright holder asks YouTube to take it down, and then they take it down. The difference is that open source authors don't care that much about that. But maybe now they will when they see what GitHub is doing...
- heavyset_go 5y ago> YouTube will still make money from it for some time (selling ads, luring customers in, ...), then the copyright holder asks YouTube to take it down, and then they take it down. YouTube isn't publishing derivative work from the videos it hosts, though, like Microsoft is doing with Copilot and GitHub. If Copilot was trained on material it doesn't have the license to, it can potentially output that unlicensed code it was trained on, like in this example[1]. Copilot could serve up copyrighted work in the same way YouTube does, but the analogy isn't complete, because YouTube itself isn't a derivative work in the same way the Copilot's model is a derivative of the data it was trained on.
