Surely this opens a door where, because an agent is unlikely to reproduce work verbatim but rather in a more compressed or decompressed wording, humans are held to a different standard? Otherwise humans would remain an effective way to launder the output of the agent.
- Retric 3y agoCopyright still applies if you’re copying elements of the story, it’s just harder to detect and less obvious in court. The value of names to copyright holders is simply how distinct they are. John Smith isn’t particularly unusual but if you name a bounty hunter Boba Fett it’s hard to argue originality. Complete originality isn’t required as long as you’re safely inside a fair use exception, but overwhelming originality is required. So it’s generally safer for a character to talk about their favorite parts of Star Wars than have your stories plot be a group of rebels trying to destroy a planet killing doomsday weapon guarded by a sword wielding space wizards.
