Is that for certain? I have a feeling this point could be debated.
- dcow 3y agoExactly. The court would consider other things like the impact of your modified copy and whether it competes financially with the original.

- Sohcahtoa82 3y ago"style and feel" are entirely subjective. If I give DALL-E or MidJourney a picture of myself that I took (and therefore I own the copyright), and ask it to "Recreate this picture in the style of Pixar", am I violating Pixar's copyright? What if I decide to model it myself and deliberately imitate Pixar. Have I violated copyright? What if I decide to model it myself, and it just happens to look similar to Pixar, because I've watched a lot of their movies and it has influenced how I model people in 3D animation. Have I violated copyright?
- cj 3y agoWhat if an AI model took the Barbie movie and added a filter to change the hue of every pixel and altered the voices to have Australian accents instead of American accents? I wonder if Disney would sue if you tried to sell and distribute despite 100% of the pixels and audio file not exactly copying the original. (Rhetorical question, Disney would definitely sue)
- greggsy 3y agoI think early YouTube movie uploaders tried this angle but ultimately failed.
- nickrubin 3y agoThe answer to all of your questions is no
- agloe_dreams 3y agoQuestion - Does it knowing what the style of Pixar is and knowing to read it constitute trademark infringement instead?
