    Could you please point me to legal definitions, in court or otherwise, that say it is not violating my copyright license to directly use my artwork in any shape or form for a non-fair use product? As in, a service you pay money for to create things based on the training data it has taken from me, is not fair use. Or point me to the legal definitions where I lose my copyright by posting things online? Allowing to scrape is not the same thing as giving derivative copyright license permissions. You aren’t disagreeing with me, you’re disagreeing with my legal rights.

      • hmm. That talks of data mining not of derivative work from the mined data. … I’ll leave the discussion to others, though.
        What effect would a Creative Commons “ND” clause have? Is it reserving the right to make derivatives? And would machine generated stuff even count as a derivative?

          The stuff the algorithm makes is considered a new thing because the impact of each individual pice of training data is basically unmeasurably small.

        None of that says anything about creating profitable derivative work. In fact is specifies patterns, trends and correlations, which does not lead me to believe it is protecting visual works created from this data, those kind of things are only used to inform things, like information science.

          Algorithms trained with that training data are considered to make new works, so your only change to stop your work getting into a Algorithm is by going against the ones that make the training data. And they will always pull the science card.

            Where are algorithms considered as being new and legally allowed derivative works in relation to visual works of art?

              Germany.

              And respectively, the algorithm muches up the training data so extremely that less than 0,1% of a training data picture is inside the result, therefore its legally a new work, however that work itself doesn’t fall under copyright protection because that is only a thing for human art. And as already stated, the training data is harvested according to the law i mentioned.
