There are several reports of face recognition going mainstream, often in less than optimum circumstances, and often violating copyright and licenses
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/18/technology/clearview-privacy-facial-recognition.html https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/facial-recognition-s-dirty-little-secret-millions-online-photos-scraped-n981921 https://www.ibm.com/blogs/research/2019/01/diversity-in-faces/ In my opinion building a model for face recognition is a derived work, and as such must credit the photographers. That pose a real problem when the photographers counts in the millions and billions. Even a 1px fine print would be troublesome! What is the official stance on this? Is it a copyright infringement or not, does the license(s) cover the case or not?
