This raises interesting philosophical discussions.

I, as a human, can consume (almost) any copyrighted content that I want. I can’t reproduce anything though - at least not anything too close to an input. How many songwriters “borrow” components - a bass line here, a drum sample, an effects layer - but composed in a new way, to create a “new” thing?

Now I’m interested to get Japan’s take on copyright on the outputs of AI.
