Do you imagine China may one day claim they own all the rights to all the objects labeled with “Made in China” on them? Could Anthropic possibly do this?
I would say the answer is "obviously not," to the degree that it's hard totake your question in good faith.
The China-made goods have been sold. Ownership transfers at sale. It would be ludicrous for some Chinese agency to say, "Well, we made it, so even though you bought it from us, it's actually still ours. Surprise!"
The difference is that US SaaS has the pattern of not seeing sales as ownership transfer, they are in the rental model and cut off access if you stop paying
It’s just a question meant for discussion. It’s already been decided AI generated art can not be copyrighted. Curious about the future of AI generated software, code, etc… and what having an Anthropic watermark on it will mean at that time.
The line between "advertisement" and "attribution" seems to depend upon your impression of the entity taking the attribution.
