It'd be really interesting to open up a movie theater in Japan that just ingests blockbusters through a "do nothing" NN and then be able to screen them royalty free. This decision feels incredibly half baked.
- RandomLensman 3y agoHow is screening a movie training an AI?
- knome 3y agoThis is explicitly for training, not for the distribution of copyrighted material. Courts aren't stupid.
- munk-a 3y agoI'd clarify that in my example the screening would be of the potentially random output of a model... just one that was only trained by watching a specific blockbuster movie and thus extremely likely to just reproduce the source material. My example is obviously an extreme but it gets at the core of the NYT case here in the states... I think it's a bad thing if we allow models to output data nearly indistinguishable from copyrighted data it was trained on. W.r.t to the NYT case - It's my opinion that it's completely reasonable to use a corpus of vetted english literature like the NYT as a way to train your model to comprehend language - but if the model also begins to echo the contents of those articles then that may be a serious breech of the NYT's right's to monetize their work.
- johncolanduoni 3y agoThat will probably go about as well as distributing an encrypted copyrighted work along with its encryption key and then claiming that none of the bits are the same so you did nothing wrong. Courts historically have not had any problem sorting out nerdy fantasy workarounds of the type often posted on HN.
