DA knew what it was doing. It gave them time to scrape the site and get the data, THEN let people know once it didn't matter anymore.

@alex_zetsu It wasn't their art to use whether they were alive or not. If copyrighted work, they can't use it. Canada automatically has copyright for things, so that will screw them no matter what.

No artist takes another person's art and reconfigures it in parts to create something new. Fanart should be the most simple example of people doing the same thing, but their own way. They are not stealing data and regurgitating it, which AI does. It can' think and re-apply a concept, it reconfigures someone else's work, work that likely has copyright. If copyright in the US has already acknowledged this and prevents ownership of AI and AI companies acknowledge they scrapped the data, it is in no way shape or form akin to how artist's learn.

@wrongthinker843 Digital art is still manual, a person is still behind it. There are certain features that can quicken a process, but the artist still has to do the work even with framework in place. Not even the same thing as art being taken and regurgitated in a different from, art likely with a copyright, that no artist can or will use without getting sued.

Or the copyright already in place prevents generative works from being considered personal works and ownership to them, as the US already has done. It doesn't matter if it keeps going, copyright will catch up to it and at least shut down anyone but the most powerful of companies with the money to get by. So an average Joe can use it, but he can never claim ownership and someone else can use it. The whole rush was to try and do as much as possible before the times caught up with them, so who exactly fell behind?
