I once was working on getting Marvels “Iron man” license for a campaign I was doing with Coca Cola Middle East I ran the production studio so was working on the concept alongside coke and the IP law firm The guy had educated me so much on how intricate these IP rights are, his firm was also handing the whole Spider-Man fox rights debucle I had texted him over the weekend asking him about this as the hearing for this is in September regarding its rights and he was like AI characters are such a different ballgame and literally the entire industry is scrambling He was like the outcome for this is revolutionary not just for AI characters but even the ones created in the past He made the argument if prompting alone gave you copyright, it would set a wild precedent. Historically, if someone commissioned or suggested a concept to an artist, the artist’s labor and skill still made them the creator There is so much subjectiveness to this because for example the tung tung character is also culturally connected to the person who came up with the concept because of the sahur tradition in Indonesia which wouldn’t have been the case if this was just objectively created Just thought it was super fascinating so thought I’d share this
