But in what way does reading a copyrighted work and then producing a mass of numbers as a result infringe copyright?
- feanaro 4y agoThe copyright infringement comes about later, when that mass of numbers is used to produce a topically related work. The same rules apply for humans -- see the concept of "clean room implementation".
- ratherbefuddled 4y agoIt really doesn't. Prose isn't source code. Learning something, then later writing something else isn't copying.
- ethbr0 4y agoMy limited understanding of case law is that transformative use is still judged very human-centricly. E.g. the courts take a dim view of any attempt to create a machine (in the abstract sense) that takes in copywritten works and churns out similar-but-uncopywritten works
