- moron4hire 3y agoYeah, that's nice and all, but it's not what we're talking about. These passages are about deliberately using the tool to violate copyright. What if, in good faith, I don't deliberately attempt to infringe, but the tool still produces results that do? Because that is happening. And that's just their interpretation of the tool. There is another interpretation that their tool itself is a violation.
- Baldbvrhunter 3y agoI should have explained that those bits are all there is. You are right, how am I to know that is an image from a movie or passage from the NYT? Ask George Harrison about "My Sweet Lord" which cost him $587,000 for his unconcious infringement. Another example would be the 2013 hit "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams. It was found to have copied the "feel" and "sound" of Marvin Gaye's 1977 song "Got to Give It Up." The court awarded Gaye's estate $7.4 million in damages, later reduced to $5.3 million.
