I feel like this poses an interesting problem: if this AI, without any input samples, generates an output that is indistinguishable from a known sample, can you still say it's royalty free? I'm not really sure what the legal status quo is here in other related fields with similar issues.
- ZitchDog 4y agoIt's not an interesting problem, we in the US already have a legal definition of similarity for the purpose of copywright law, I assume other countries do as well.
- speedgoose 4y agoIf you ask stable diffusion or MidJourney to generate a recent Disney character image, it’s not royalty-free. For a drum sample, I guess some are so generic and simple that no one can claim ownership. Still, if you manage to reproduce a particular sample, perhaps because of an overfitted model, then you may have some issues. However, the music industry seems to be fine with sampling.
