  Closing the door behind the ones that already did it means only the current groups that have the data will make money of it.

    Downvote all you want. If your entire business or personal model includes stealing content from other people, then you need to rethink that.

      “stealing” implies the owner does not have it anymore… It is large studio speak.

      And I get what you are trying so say, I just think the copyright system is so broken that this shows it is in need of reform. Because if the qualm is with people doing immoral shit as a business model, there are long lists of corporations that will ask you to hold their beer.

      And the fact that the training of the models already occurred on these materials means that the owners of the current models are probably training on generated datasets meaning that by the time this actually hits court, the datasets with original copyrighted materials will be obsolete.

        Regarding obsolete models, that’s only partially true. There’s loads of content that are effectively “finished” and won’t be changing, and will grow obsolete at a fairly slow pace. Meaning they’ll be useful in the models once trained for years.

        Obviously new technology and similar ideas/content that didn’t exist when the model was created won’t be there, but the amount that changes and or is new is relatively small each year compared to all the historical content.

      Stealing: depriving you of what you own

      Copying: taking a picture of what you made.

      Stealing is not copying. You still have whatever you started with.

    Is it Copyright content?

      This regulation (and similar being proposed in California) would not be applied retroactively.

        Never mentioned any sort of retroactive measures.

  Yes it is perfectly appropriate for someone who burned a backup copy of a DVD they paid for to go to prison for ten years
