Again, I take the position that of course it's copyright. It's not even debatable to me. I know some people believe otherwise, but I don't understand it. In order for the rest of the copyright framework to work, I have to know what it was trained on, so the people who rightfully deserve to be paid for that training can be paid.
Could I very quickly add something I want to say in response to Mr. Garon's questions?
Two years ago, when this was science fiction, it was easy to imagine a space-robot head learning all the music and writing its own music. Now that we see the general application of it, it is ripping off bands you know and love with new songs that are rip-offs, or generating an image with copyright symbols in it because they ripped off a photo with a copyright logo in it. We know that it's stealing and scraping.
