If this is the logic, then corporations should lose personhood because they can't have it both ways.
I don't see the rationale because ultimately there are owners of copyright, whereas the creation process should be immaterial to protection whether it was paint thrown against a wall, AI generation, or some poor human painting with hummingbird eyelashes.
- danShumway 4y ago> whereas the creation process should be immaterial to protection On the contrary, the US position has been for a very, very, long time that the creation process is the only thing that's material to protection. The result is not the thing that matters. Corporations can own copyright not because they're human beings, but because the copyrighted work was originally generated by a human being's creative expression. There's no contradiction or having it both ways here: this isn't a set of guidance about who can own copyright, it's a set of guidance about what can generate copyright.
