All artists are trained on copyrighted work.
- callalex 3y agoAnd they pay a license fee to do so. Artist textbooks are not free, because they pay the rights holders to reproduce their work.
- mortureb 3y agoBullshit. You can look up all works up for free online. What a sorry argument. Copyrighted means you can’t reproduce it, not not look at it.
- callalex 3y agoThere’s probably an argument against my point, but this sure ain’t it. I can watch every Disney movie for free on the internet, but that doesn’t make it legal.
- Timwi 3y agoIt's legal in Germany. What's illegal here is unauthorized distribution. Downloading a copy of something from a public server cannot get you in trouble here. Only publishing does.
- V__ 3y agoIt's not and never was. In 2008 it even got raised from a civil to a criminal offense. It's a common misconception because it is more lucrative to go after people that also upload/publish due to higher possible damages.
- mortureb 3y agoFor the most part we’re talking about static images here, atleast for the current state of LLMs and those are all freely viewable online.
- karmajunkie 3y agocategorically false.
- callalex 3y agoWhat is categorically false?
- karmajunkie 3y agothat artists pay a license fee to learn from other artists work. it’s an utterly ridiculous argument.
