If I'm ever going to be justified in being a little upset, it doesn't get more opportune than this situation. But "check out this copy I made" isn't competition. But it's the heart of where the reaction came from.Ĭompetition is one thing and-as a sole developer with my (and my family's) livelihood always on the hook-it already involves more emotional investment than I'd care to admit.
Then, wake up one morning and read a post from a kid that doesn't understand intellectual property that says "hey guys, check out how I (in some cases, literally) copied everything verbatim and now you can use it for free."įine, I'll grant that's a bit of an exaggeration.
#Synthesia oi software#
In general, maybe don't copy files directly out of proprietary software packages without at least checking with someone first.Īs a thought experiment: spend 15 years of your life working on a cool thing that is the sole method by which you feed your family and create security in your life.
You are looking for things where the file hash doesn't match. So you're not looking for things that you "can't independently find on his website". The resulting files are new works that you do not have the rights to redistribute. Any that started there have all been modified substantially to include several major feature changes (split hands, corrections, tempo adjustments, and other cleanup). Otherwise, Synthesia ships with exactly zero original files from his website. Hearing someone else say "I heard it was in the public domain" is not sufficient research (as you presumably just learned).
You'll have to talk to Gilbert about the songs on his website. This is why I'm here giving you advice instead of drafting cease and desist letters with my lawyer. From all the profanity in your commit messages along with the rest of these dumb mistakes, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest you're probably a young person-either in high school or early twenties-and simply don't know any better yet. This is the "it's better to ask forgiveness than permission" philosophy in action. AI-generated content will be a cornerstone of the media landscape in the coming decade and we are pleased to be at the forefront of developing new products and experience alongside industry leaders such as Reuters.”įor information on Reuters News Agency, visit: sorry I didn't realize!" is one of those things I bet judges love to hear. Victor Riparbelli, CEO and Co-founder, Synthesia, said: “We’re excited to partner with Reuters, one of the world’s most trusted news organisations, to demonstrate the potential of synthetic media technologies to deliver real-time, personalised news to consumers. This kind of prototyping is helping us to understand how AI and synthetic media can be combined with our real-time feeds of photography and reporting to create whole new kinds of products and services.” Nick Cohen, global head of product, core news services, Reuters, said: “Reuters has long been at the forefront of exploring the potential of new technologies to deliver news and information. All the data and information used in the match reporting comes from real-world examples.
