Hello frens,

As a great opponent of any form of IP, I have been following the event of Disney's Steamboat Willie entering the public domain with great amusement. The incidents where creators have been falsely demonetized on youtube for rightfully using this film is further underpinned by Disney's decades-long shameless practices. The linked article sums it up quite well I think.

If I were on a jury deciding this sort of thing, I’d require that there be something brand new.

Same. These things should be decided on a case by case basis. I doubt there exists an algorithm or LLM that could answer such questions.
