On Copy-Right

A copyright is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the exclusive right to copy, distribute, adapt, display and perform a creative work.

Owners and creators of texts, images, audio and video materials have pushed their idea of holding the ownership rights for their content and earning revenue from their work at the same time. It is easy and simple to understand that the paddy in the fields belongs to the owner of the field as long as the owner holds it without releasing it for sale in the market. This is true for both the tangible and intangible forms of creation.

Internet users pay in one way or another for the use the internet services. All digital contents available on the internet is packaged either in a direct revenue formula or indirect revenue formula, but for the internet user, they have paid for the digital content for accessing, viewing and using.

It is clear, even if unannounced, that when internet users use “Digital Contents” made available in text, image, audio and video formats placed for public usage through Open AI sources in various digital platforms, then owners of such “Digital Contents” have clearly foregone their claim of ownership by placing such Digital Contents on the Internet Highway for users to use and also, understandably, has foregone their right to immunity under any Copyright Acts and Laws.

The owners having understood all the risk factors involved have submitted themselves to the service providers for placing their Digital Content in the digital platforms adopting the Open AI tools.  Internet users are, definably, the third party who have paid for the internet use and have been given access for accessing the Digital Contents by the service providers.

In the view of the writer, Internet users who intent to use such “Digital Content” for their creation can at best, voluntarily, follow the good ethical business practices of acknowledging the creators of such “Digital Contents”.

In an association of Man-Machine projects, only Humans need to understand the factors of risks.
