Are you asking if it is okay for humans to plagiarize or otherwise violate copyright? For both the human and the algorithm, the answer is: it depends. Yes?
Are you trying to make money off of it? Is it for personal use? Was it protected or public domain?
It just all depends on the circumstances. Human or not.
- josephg 3y ago“It depends on the circumstances” seems to me like cover for “we made up some random rules that made sense at the time”. If you cover a song on YouTube, you can apparently be demonetised or attract copyright strikes from the original artist. But in software, you tell me an algorithm and I code it up, that’s an original work. The lines all seem pretty arbitrary to me.
- checkyoursudo 3y agoOh, I used to be a lawyer. "It depends" is just always the answer, whether we like it or not. And, yes, it is pretty much because of “we made up some random rules that made sense at the time”.
- toyg 3y agoIf you remove "random", that's a pretty fair representation of any law, lol.
