I'm curious: what happens with other people's stuff that you've licensed for your work?
Thinks like assets for example. Usually the license says you're allowed to use the assets in derivative work but you're not allowed to redistribute them as is, which this sounds like. Wouldn't that effectively make it illegal to use Adobe for anyone who uses other people's licensed stuff?
You'd be hard pressed to prove that any one piece of art was used as training data in their neural network crap.
But would you have to prove that? If you're the person licensing it out under whatever limited license, would it be enough to say "hey, you agreed not to redistribute this, but then you ran it through Adobe, who says they will peek at and use anything you run through their software"?
May use. They may not. Any use complaint would have to be proven, which would be extremely hard.
By agreeing to Adobe's terms and using their software you have redistributed works in way that likely violates your license.
Move companies don't have to prove that you actually watched a movie or that whoever downloaded it from you did. The mere act of redistributing it violates copyright law.
