> What's copyrighted are the models

Has this actually been tested yet? Or are we still at the stage of AI companies trying to pretend this into reality?

If the models are copyright protected then presumably they obeyed license on the upstream dependencies they included (i.e. the training data).

Is upstream dependency licensure necessary to establish copyright? For example, I Need a Haircut was still a unique work regardless of the rights to sample Alone Again.

I mean, if you take a match to a blank CD-ROM, or shoot neutrinos at a USB drive, there is a very small chance that you get the SD weights stored on them

You can say that about literally any digital information. This isn't really interesting in the context of the copyright status of AI models.
