Episode notes
UK Ruling Narrowly Favours Stability AI
- The UK judge found Stability AI's model doesn't store or reproduce Getty's full works, undermining secondary copyright claims.
- That narrow finding may influence but does not bind courts elsewhere, leaving primary training-copy issues unresolved.
Jurisdiction Limited The Case's Impact
- The UK decision is procedurally limited because Getty couldn't show training happened in the UK, so the court avoided ruling on primary infringement.
- Without that ruling, the case sets little precedent and leaves bigger legal questions open.
Copy Vs. Learned Relationships Matter
- Judges keep distinguishing between models that store verbatim copies and models that learn relationships from many works.
- That distinction will drive future secondary-infringement rulings but won't resolve training-copy legality.
