Imagine you take all sorts of copyrighted pictures, compress them lossily, encrypt them separately using a unique passphrase that can be guessed, and place them into a big tarball to be distributed.
Are you infringing copyright?
I think this is a useful mental model here, as it is difficult to argue that guessing a passphrase is copyright infringement.
- NBJack 3y agoThat is a bit different as it suggests strict comparmentalization of the reproductions. There is a lot of "concept bleeding" that happens in the models I've used. Perhaps if the compression directly leveraged overlap among the images, via keywords.
