RBLX/ai - Elevate Your Game with AI-Generated Icons and Thumbnails

@Arxk

Re-prompting and using different styles would 100% count. And you’d be able to obtain rights for those crafted images.

Prompts that are rewritten by ai don’t count.

@Arxk

You would also be able to 100% obtain rights for images using character integration as those are images made with your Roblox character.

Once again, I’m outlining the mere lack of transparency and consistent copyright laws when claiming copyright for AI images. And I’m providing cases where when the copyright protection claim went to court, was successful in favor of the person trying to get copyright protection or cases where you can fully obtain copyright for your AI images (the Canadian source above).

The Canadian source does not support your claim. It states that you could get it because of a flaw in the system, and states that the copyright doesn’t guarantee ownership of the assets. It also implies that it’s worthless to the legal system, and not worth the parchment it’s printed on.

@Arxk

I’m not advertising you get that copyright protection… You fully own the images you create with RBLX/ai, including the right to reprint, sell, and merchandise.

Which means nothing when someone can take your work, sell it and you cannot do anything about it.

[Arxk]

You are factually incorrect.

1. AI Images on RBLX/ai that are modified with new prompts and variations with setting new parameters like a new style would count and would get you copyright protection in most places like the EU, UK, Canada and China. I’m not guaranteeing a 100% success rate, but if in the off chance you end up having to go to court over being denied copyright protection for an AI image, there’s been majority success rates in these countries battling it in court, with the judge deeming the person being a valid contributor in making the image.

2. You would also absolutely be able to obtain copyright protection for your image if they were using character integration, no question at all. The only country you might face issues is in the U.S where they usually deny copyright protection claims for AI images and only allow complete and full human effort.

3. The Canadian source does support the claim that you could receive copyright protection against AI imagery in Canada. When you get copyright protection, you own the intellectual property and have full copyrighted ownership, you can argue that it’s a flaw in the system, but that’s how it is. He was not denied it, he has it.

4. Which means quite a lot considering some AI software hand out commercial licenses for extra $ where if you were to use the generated images for your own financial gain without having a commercial license, they could request it be removed.

Regardless of how you may obtain copyright protection over an AI image, a very small minority of Roblox developers actually copyright Icons and Thumbnails for their games unless it’s a brand. I’m actually advertising rights to your images with no commercial licenses needed, I’m not bragging you get copyright protection…

1. Incorrect. No it wouldn’t. Setting a style will not be enough to get you copyright protection. Every source you’ve posted states that the amount you contribute is what qualifies.
2. This is the grey area that you keep bringing up, because of the arguments for and against it.
3. No it supports, that you can get something copyrighted out of a technicality, but that in the eyes of the law, it doesn’t actually offer protection since the ownership can easily be refuted.
4. The key word there is request. Without the ability to prove ownership, they cannot enforce it to be taken down.

Also another question, why do you claim that other image generation services do not give you rights to use the generated images, when you’re a middleman, who’s using one of them to generate your images?

I understand this is a sensitive subject, but I feel like this is going a bit further than a cordial discussion. I absolutely feel like there needs to be some sort of disclaimer on the site at the point of purchasing or generation that says that generated images may not be able to receive copyright ownership/protection, but this back and forth seems more like spam than constructive criticism at this point. You both have differing opinions on the matter and what is technically legal and not enforceable by law is still somewhat a grey area. I think it would be best to add this information for potential clients, but we really have nothing that would force Arxk to add this information.

[Arxk]

Agreed. I’ve stated my points on the subject. The discussion has greatly veered off in the wrong direction.

I can absolutely go into greater detail regarding copyright protection over images you are generating. Just beware that my initial post With RBLX/ai: Rights to use your images was meant in a way that you do not need any licenses with generating the images, it was not meant to serve as some kind of automatic copyright protection.

Services like Adobe Firefly (AI image generation tool) have certain rules that you need to follow in order to use them commercially. Midjourney doesn’t even let you use images commercially if you don’t have a paid plan.
