OK, so this might still play out as a win.

- Stability AI pays Getty a fee, which they really should, to some degree/percentage, if they're making money off this.

- But the amount should be for a proper use license, rather than focus on being punitive. Perhaps they work out another kind of deal. This is what the execs figure out together.

- Then they re-train on the entire set, sans watermark, now with the full blessing of Getty, and the resulting Stable Diffusion v3.0 release ends up being mind blowing!


They should be punished because they violated the law.
