WRONG. The owner of the camera successfully litigated and is the copyright owner of the work! I’m not kidding about this, and for all the grief I get about being a critic of blase attitudes regarding US copyright around tech circles I’m still a huge advocate for reform.
This is very not like the monkey case, and AI firms should be grateful. Why? If this was a similar logic tree, the owners of the copyrighted material used in training would have ownership of any work produced by an AI system. As in, everything output is a “derivative work” in the eyes of the law. More cases are necessary and this is a fascinating battle to come.
