An argument can be made that model weights are a "creative work", in the same way that a list of pixel intensities and RGB values is a creative work. Who knows whether the argument will hold up or not.
As with all IP, it's one thing to be granted intellectual property rights, and a completely different thing to actually go about enforcing those rights. Without access to infringer's source code, it's challenging to make the case.
- jrochkind1 4y agoA list of pixel intensities and RGB values are only a creative work because they are a picture, it's the picture that's a creative work. Lists of numbers as such are not generally copryightable in the USA. Note that "facts" aren't copyrightable in the US, regardless of how much effort or money was spent assembling them. Neither are algorithms or procedures as such.
