RE: Transparency in Art / It's that hummingbird again, but me!

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

These are all good points and any serious artist would know and adhere to that.
You mentioned Deep Dream, and I like to expand on this a bit. Buried and not easily seen on the Deep Dream website, under Subscription plans, is this FAQ:

Do I own the processed images?
Yes, you do. But if you plan to use the result images commercially, you have to make sure you own the rights on the input images (and style images in case of the Deep Style tool).
If you decide to make a result image public on the website, we keep the right to share it on different places on the website and on our social networks (e.g. Instagram or Facebook).

The operative words are:

you have to make sure you own the rights on the input images
(and style images in case of the Deep Style tool)

Many of those who are just tinkering around with it are not aware of it. But anyone that understands copyright would certainly know without having it pointed out to them.

You also talk about free images. Yes, there are certainly a lot of completely free images available, examples are Pixabay and Pexels. In fact, I am planning to post a video I made using short clips I gathered on Pixabay, as well as ambient music I used from there.
The important part is that you make something new out of that material.
While it says Attribution is not required, whenever I use these sources, I ALWAYS attribute the originating artist.
