That’s an interesting point. I think use without permission would work in my method since the source model is identified by it. They could put a public ledger of which ones are in use, too, if they wanted.

The training thing is outside the scope of my proposal. It’s amusing, though, since all major models infringed on copyrighted works when I surveyed them a year or so ago. They wanted people to obey their terms, like credit or no knowledge distillation. The same companies would illegally copy 1TB+ of others’ work without blinking. Is it even really their I.P. in that case?

So, I decided not to get involved in securing I.P. often built on infringed I.P.. The other proposal is more like stopping fraud against consumers.
