Hi Pior,
.
I just read that the CEO of Midjourney has publically stated that his company has not asked
one of the creators of the 100.000.000 images they fed to their servers for a licensing au-
thorization.
.
A published artwork image is NOT open source and as they sell the product which is based
on this gigantic image-pool this indeed seems to be greatest copyright infringment of all
times. Only becaus of being that colossal does not mean they own the right to commit
this monumental copyright violation.
.
Of course one could argue that the artwork which is produced ian basis of the imagery
swallowed up by the servers of MJ is original by its own - but they have not payed a cent
for their raw material
.
But we live in a world were justice has been turned upside down - just think about the
shameful acts of biopiratery of the huge seed companies ....
