I mean as someone who’s part of the music industry (or at the very least makes music semi-professionally and releases it myself using DistroKid), I’ve had to get involved with learning about IP rights and honestly I think they’re kind of ridiculous. Like how Mickey Mouse is only now just about to go into public domain (until Disney has their say and lobbies for the laws to get changed again). It’s all ridiculous. While I do think that there needs to be some kind of protection for people claiming to have created something that they did not, I think the current state of copyright is just there to cover the asses of corporations and doesn’t really pay attention to the individual (like most laws in the U.S. unfortunately)
Agreed, people should credit artists whose ideas they use. Sometimes that doesn’t happen and the protection I was talking about was for instances in which people don’t credit the artist.

I have heard the suggestion to use a similar AI, trained on the leaked Windows source code, and then use that for developing WINE or ReactOS.
@Ephera @Amicchan the legal implications of microsoft having to argue against use of ai regurgitated code would indeed be fascinating.
