A great article, highlighting many of the issues which much discussion of AI seems to miss.
Just one point though. As someone who has been a director, a cinematographer and a camera operator, your sentence "yet no-one expects the camera operator to own the film’s copyright" struck me as a poor analogy. This is because you wouldn't expect the director to own the copyright either. Normally the copyright would be held by the production company.
You're right, of course. I was speaking from my experience limited to small indie productions in which directors are usually also producer and funder and bottle-washer. I'll tickle the sentence. Thanks.
So many well-said points here. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this!
