Reply to comment by goj-145 in [D] Is it legal to use images or videos with copyright to train a model? by Tlaloc-Es

So you're saying Stability wouldn't have issues if they hired an intern to git clone a watermark remover and put the images through it first?

It would have been MUCH harder to prove if they spent a day preprocessing the images first!

They use the open LAION 50B dataset, everybody knows what's in there.

Still, some preprocessing and deduplication would have been a good idea just for output quality.

if it is illegal now it would be super illegal then, because removing watermarks on its own typically violates the license of the material.

The question is 100% the same as "can i include GPLv3 code in my commercial closed source repository if i remove the license headers and ensure that the code ris never published?"
