can you point to the trial they won? I only know about a case that was dismissed.

because what we've seen from ai so far is hardly transformative.

Sorry, I was talking about HiQ labs v. Linkedin. But there is Google v. Perfect 10 and Google v. Authors Guild that show how scrapping public data is perfectly fine and include the company in question.

An image generator is trained on a billion images and is able to spit out completely new images on whatever you ask it. Calling it anything but transformative is silly, especially when such things as collage are considered transformative.

eh, "completely new" is a huge stretch there. splicing two or ten movies together doesn't give you an automatic pass.
