If a made a bot that read amazon reviews and then output a meta-review for me, would that be a violation of amazon's copyright? (I'm sure somewhere in the amazon ToS they claim all ownership rights of reviews).
If it output those reviews verbatim, sure I can see the issue, the model is over fitting. But if I tweak the model or filter the output to avoid verbatim excerpts, does an amazon lawyer have a solid footing for a "violation of copyright" lawsuit?
- jononor 2y agoAs far as I understand, according to current copyright practices: If you sing a song that someone else has written, or pieces thereof, you are in violation. This is also the case of you switch out the instrumentation completely, say play trumpet instead of guitar, or a male choir sings a female line. If on would make a medley many such parts, it is not automatically not violation anymore either. So we do have examples of things being very far from verbatim copy, being considered violations.
