What else could it be?
- monocasa 2y agoThe industry is banking on Author's Guild v. Google to be precedent in such a way that it's functionally transformative enough to be a completely new work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authors_Guild,_Inc._v._Google,_Inc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authors_Guild,_Inc._v._Google,.... I think they have about a coin flip of a chance that it passes muster in the courts.
- Ajedi32 2y agoAn original composition based on a statistical analysis of the training data. Statistical data about a copyrighted work obviously isn't necessarily a derivative of that work. Otherwise Tolkien could sue me for telling you how many times The Lord of the Rings uses the word "the".
