Consider an AI chatbot platform. If this platform doesn’t allow users to create characters (that are stored on their centralized service) that infringe IP, but allows users to import character definition files that do so from external sites (that are created by community members, and may contain copyright-protected characters), without permanently storing (or storing for private use), is the owner responsible for IP infringement?
I think IP infringement happens when you try to sell something, regardless of where you got that thing from. Unless I’m mistaken? Maybe a legal expert can chime in
