- dragonwriter 3y ago> It takes millions of dollars to generate the weights, shouldn’t it have some legal protection? It does, if you choose to keep them internally as a trade secret. It does, if you share it only with people you contract with not to disclose it. But, for copyright specifically, rather than “some legal protection” more generally, the “it takes millions of dollars” argument is a financial recasting of the “sweat of the brow” concept which has been definitively rejected by the courts.
