    The article does a very good job at show how it isn’t stealing. Particularlly this part:

    Fair use protects reverse engineering, indexing for search engines, and other forms of analysis that create new knowledge about works or bodies of works. Here, the fact that the model is used to create new works weighs in favor of fair use as does the fact that the model consists of original analysis of the training images in comparison with one another.

    This isn’t a new way of “stealing” it’s just a way to analyze and reverse engineer images so you can make your own original works. In the US, the first major case that established reverse engineering as fair use was Sega Enterprises Ltd. v. Accolade, Inc in 1992, and then affirmed in Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. v. Connectix Corporation in 2000. So this is not new at all.

    I understand that you are passionate about this topic, and that you have strong opinions on the legal and ethical issues involved. However, using profanity, insults, and exaggerations isn’t helping this discussion. It only creates hostility and resentment, and undermines your credibility. If you’re interested, we can have a discussion in good faith, but if your next comment is like this one, I won’t be replying.

      Not doing any of that, but okay.

      Edit: I guess I was cussing, lol. It’s the internet and I think you’ll be fine.

      Reverse engineering?

      So, stealing, with a fancy name.

      And don’t pretend like one court ruling makes something right. Look at roe vs wade.

      The musician point is absolutely valid, artists ask permission before using each other’s work. Vanilla ice got absolutely fucking lambasted for stealing queen’s under pressure. Destroyed his (totally mediocre, imo) career.

      I excuse me, I made a swear

      Go back to your cubicle you uncreative crybaby bitch
