Comment on An artist fights Midjourneyparent

Somewhat unrelated, but I wonder if it makes a legal difference if the AI acts like a browser and goes out, finds and image and downloads it.

Basically the AI doesn't have a copyrighted image in its data set, but it will go grab YouTube screenshots or images from Google Images or something.

It would still be distributing copyrighted work, even if it doesn't store a copy at any stage. It would go the way of Napster.

Midjourney claims that you own all of the images it creates for you.
