What If I personally train a network on my own art? The computer is mine, the software is mine, the reference art is mine, but I have no rights to anything produced?
- EA-3167 3y agoI think the question in front of the courts then would be to what extent your creation of the network is important vs. the training data you used. Is it really feasible to train a robust network on whatever reference material you're personally able to generate?
- ortusdux 3y agoIt will definitely end up in the courts. This* is a list of artists that have sold the rights to their music catalog. If Sony, who spent $200m on Bob Dylan's master recordings, sets up servers, pays developers, and creates a network using only Dylan recordings they have the rights to, can they copyright newly generated songs? I bet we will find out soon. https://www.ajournalofmusicalthings.com/heres-a-running-list-of-artists-who-have-sold-some-or-all-of-their-song-catalogues-to-a-new-breed-of-company/ https://www.ajournalofmusicalthings.com/heres-a-running-list...
- nonethewiser 3y agoI mean, it sounds shitty, but if they own the rights then it seems obvious that they can.
- nonethewiser 3y agoI don’t quite understand what you are saying. In his scenario, what details would make it not copyrightable? If the network is paramount to the creation does that make it more or less copyrightable?
- nonethewiser 3y agoMaybe so? It seems like currently the chain of ownership is so complicated and spread out that its not feasible. But I dont see a good claim by another party in your case. Best one might be a library or hardware but thats getting ridiculous.
- ortusdux 3y agoTo rephrase my comment below - what if Sony, who owns Bob Dylan's master recordings, use their own hardware, software, & reference materials to generate new "Bob Dylan" music?
