Is this the end of stock footage copyright?
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoOne can hope, but I'm afraid it'll only make things more complicated. In theory you could train a generator on stock footage. In theory the stock footage copyright holder could sue you for creating a derivative work without paying them. In theory that claim could be bunkus if the creator used a different training set - how do you prove a generated image's origins?
- evancox100 5y agoDecent case that the derivative work is transformative and protected by fair use. (And yes I realize that doesn't stop them from suing you, just pointing out)
- cocktailpeanuts 5y agoHow would you know which stock photo was used for training? Someone may take a whole bunch of images they buy on a dark market, create a huge train model, and dump it on the public internet over torrent or something. And there would be no way to know which images were used to train the model
- laurent123456 5y agoPerhaps as this technique becomes more and more used there will be regulations on the source data set, such as the requirement to prove you own all of it (or that it is in the public domain).
- teekert 5y agoJust like Co-pilot is the end of the GPL-ed code?
- dylan604 5y agoWould the AI technically own the copyright to the work they just produced?
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 5y agoWe’ll probably end up seeing new IP law to incentivize/protect the collection of training data. Creating training data is crazy expensive, but exploiting it without permission/attribution/compensation is currently legally protected as fair use.
