I love the AI videos of old dancers dancing to new music. Or vice versa, new dancers being placed with old ones. I've personally seen kids go look up Gene Kelly to watch his old movies after seeing that kind of video. Honestly, I can't imagine any artist not being delighted that his work is being enjoyed beyond his lifespan. It will be an interesting point of law for the courts to decide when or if a person's face goes out of copyright, but for now, I suspect when it comes to movies or commercials, permission has to come from the trustee of the estate of the person who died. I suppose one could argue your kids shouldn't get to decide if your face appears in a commercial, but if you spent your life making your face marketable...I would think you wouldn't mind. 1

I was more focused on directors who fought editing of movies for younger audiences or those who preferred ‘cleaner’ cuts as interfering with artistic property rights. I was also thinking of how the Grinch was used in a commercial I saw back when the movie came out that in essence shared the message the book (and hopefully movie) conveyed, but then added “but just in case the Grinch was wrong”…to promote shopping and buying lots of gifts. I don’t think Dr. Seuss would have approved of the image of the Grinch being used for that commercial…at least I hope not. No doubt his estate didn’t care since they sold the rights allowing that kind of stuff. I think there are very good arguments on both sides (bad ones as well ) Edited January 13 by Calm
rodheadlee Posted January 13 Posted January 13 How about when we decide to let AI push the button? Are we already there?
