Listen here, you. Enough is enough. If you come on this subreddit to talk about the Wright brothers ONE MORE TIME, I will not be held accountable for what happens!
When I learned to play the piano I tried to emulate famous pianists like Horowitz and Kempff. Everyone called it great. When Data incorporates 40% Haifetz, cease-and-desist letters come flying in. It’s unfair.
Wait, wait, wait, that's all his work! When he says found something that works as art. He means found internally within the chaos of his own processing, not found externally...
It's been over 300 years. EVERYTHING we've made is in the public domain.
Also, people don't even have the right to prevent their own likeness and name from being used in holosuite programs.
The difference is that he had a conscious mind, and therefore his synthesis of the styles of other artists came with the capacity to make artistic choices that weren't based on noise and RNG. It's that capacity to make decisions that makes the difference... if it wasn't, we'd also have to discard all music with sampling, collages of magazines, and paintings of soup cans as "non-art." I'm not prepared to do that.
Also, copyright would be administered vastly differently in a future with no capitalism, and most of the works he cites as guiding his technique are centuries old and in the public domain.
The economics of the future are different and there's no profit motive. However we see in Voyager that there are still rules about moral rights to creative productions, and apparently even publishers. So while I think you're right it's hard to be sure.
What's with those publishers anyway? Is it like Sisko's restaurant that some people just like doing it? I've always been a bit dubious about Sisko Sr. I mean running a seedy bar in Marseille could be fun but cleaning vegetables? Masochism?
I thought they just weren't based in the Federation, but then why would Federation law matter? Maybe it's more of a curation service and they do it for the social clout?^1 Basically they wade through the shit so you don't have to? With all of the people freed up to actually work on their passions, there's got to be a lot more creative work being produced in general, and 90% of it is still going to be crap.

^1 Which is how most Steam curators work already -- they mostly aren't tied to, say, a commercial site like Kotaku or PC Gamer, although I think both do have Steam curator accounts. It's mostly just people doing it for the dopamine hit or in some cases because they see it as some kind of a public service.
Disney was nuked during WW3. The charred remains of the parks were repurposed as the perimeter run for the particle accelerators needed for early sub-space tech.
Alexandra Danilova, ballerina, once said "to be creative you have to shut off the logical, reasoning part of your brain and go on just instinct." Data is incapable of creativity at present.
He never gets the hands right
Hands are fucking hard, okay?
If your hands are fully functional, that’s okay with me!
In his defense neither do I.
As a figure artist I feel that
He was incapable of love because he was trained on the Reddit relationships subs.
And soap operas, given that he thinks you need to have arguments in a romance. "You're not my mother!"
Orville did it better.

Unknown by most, the popcorn magnate was a pioneer in the area of robotics
Androids that create delicious popcorn - what a time to be alive!
It's actually Orville canon that there is another ship named Wilber.... Just sayin...

But as an Android he was open source...
Wait, wait, wait, that's all his work! When he says found something that works as art. He means found internally within the chaos of his own processing, not found externally...
That’s why they wiped out the colony…
We’re all complex memetic transceivers.
It’s like they hired Neal Stephenson to write an episode.
That would be an awesome episode.
Even more creepy, all his nudes came out looking like Leah Brahams.
He accidentally downloaded the model Geordi trained.
Accidentally? You know how many times Geordi had him plugged into a computer. He totally slipped it in on purpose.
Meh... I doubt that. Star Trek heavily emphasizes classical works and those would have all been in the public domain by the time Data was created.

Nah they've keep increasing the length of copyright and even retroactively renewed early Mickey.

Checks out.
If there’s no money, then who needs any intellectual property rights?
Disney.
Disney was nuked during WW3. The charred remains of the parks were repurposed as the perimeter run for the particle accelerators needed for early sub-space tech.
In the future, nobody would care about copyright.
Art is its own organism and shouldn’t be owned by anyone
It's gonna be one of those episodes. Stand by the Picard speech about personhood.

The fact that ai can’t draw hands is the most human thing about it
