There is a little something called "fair use".
- ChrisMarshallNY 3y agoYeah...that gets fuzzy. Satire of the work is allowed, but I don't think using the work, itself, in satire of something else, is allowed. I think that the example a lot of folks use is the "Pissing Calvin" decal. Watterson never allowed any commercialization of his characters. Every "Pissing Calvin" decal is actually a copyright violation, but I think that they never enforced it, so it may be considered "OK" to use, as the copyright has been allowed to wither. But IANAL. Things get sticky, here.
- deadbabe 3y agoThe original work isn’t used. It’s satirized in the form of training data that a model will understand.
- rightbyte 3y agoFamily Guy made a scene for scene recreation of Star Wars.
- qeternity 3y agoIt’s actually fuzzy in favor of fair use though. This is more akin to buying multiple books on a topic and then writing a new book on the topic using the aggregate learnings from the original books.
