It would be a spectacularly shitty world where IP protection is only granted to entities with a legal budget that eclipses the GDP of Antigua, and not to smaller independent creators.
The ends of having an useful model like stable diffusion doesn't really justify just ignoring the IP rights of tens of thousands of creators who were already having a pretty rough time making ends meet. That's just a shitty thing to do.
- msla 4y agoIt's already the case that independent creators get their works pulled on bogus copyright claims. Copyright law isn't friendly to small creators, and big creators use it as a cudgel with absolutely no consequences.
