This tool is a lifesaver for content creators! 🎨 As someone who's always paranoid about image copyright (and tired of scrolling through stock photos), this is exactly what I needed. Tried it with a few reference images and the results are surprisingly good - keeps the essence while making it unique. Just used it for my blog posts, and it's like having a personal artist who never asks for credit 😅 Pro tip: Works great for social media visuals too! 🚀

@ethanyu thanks for the support and testing! I actually want artists to get love for their work and helping with copyright issues can help make that easier. Please share examples would love to see!

Should copyright be abolished? Or all intellectual property rights and protections? If someone created a clone of "No More Copyright" and charged a bunch of money for a service that doesn't work, would that be okay? Is this the same idea as generic drugs, but applied to IP? Or luxury brand knock-offs? Just curious where this approach to IP will lead — and whether it will ultimately kill or promote creativity long term.

@chrismessina hey Chris, long time! One question at a time ;) My opinion, we need to have open conversations on copyright law being used 99.9% of the time to actually limit creativity versus expand it. I’m original from the art space, studied art for my degree actually. So turning this back on you, what do you think about copyright law today. Does it work properly? Or does it hurt artists primarily since it is outdated. For example. You hunted Sora, you know that wouldn’t pass copyright muster like most GenAI models today. And feel free to check out and create some images on nomorecopyright.com to get inspiration, 3,000+ generations yesterday.

@chrismessina btw I think you are confusing and mixing patent law with copyright law. Both need updates though. I'd recommend looking at the history of the insulin patent for the reason we need generic drugs. Creator sold the patent for $1 so everyone could have free access but with abuse of patents up until a few months ago it could cost an individual $1k+ per month in US leaving people to skip so they could eat. Trying to understand the point here a bit. Are you anti-generic / accessible drugs?

@chrismessina “If someone created a clone of "No More Copyright" and charged a bunch of money for a service that doesn't work, would that be okay?”” This product that generates prompts from existing content will 100% be copied. Absolutely.

@nathantross good to run into each other again. :) Hopefully you remember that I like to serve as an internet provocateur (i.e. a well-intended trollish sort?) in poking at this. I would agree that IP law generally (though there's much that's been settled) is being upended by generative AI. "Fair use" didn't contemplate work being reduced to a set of vectors and those vectors and embeddings being remixed at scale across the entire internet. I'm not familiar enough w/ the economic intention of these laws in terms of degree, only that the concern of a government-granted monopoly over an ephemeral thing like "an idea" or "an expression" was meant to prevent copies of the original work from eroding the value of the original work. It was meant to encourage people to publish and share their ideas sooner, rather than hoarding them for fear of the ideas "being stolen". But abundance mathematics does require a rethinking of these rules and laws, but there's a real hard problem around equitable redistribution... Should we move towards a UBI-style approach to support all creators, or should we rely on market dynamics which currently favor those who either can afford lawsuits (e.g. The New York Times) or those with existing massive followings (e.g. someone like Elon Musk who constantly appropriates memes and jokes from accounts with fewer followers on X)? Doubtful we'll resolve it soon, and your site only pushes the question further forward.

@nathantross I'm not getting them confused; I'm asking general questions about IP protections. Patents protect novel and non-obvious inventions and technological innovations, whereas copyright protects original artistic, literary, and intellectual works of authorship. They serve different functions in the market because one is about applying techniques of production to industrial products whereas the other tends to center on expression, presentation, and information.

One of great products

This tool could revolutionize my design process by eliminating copyright concerns. How do you envision using it in your projects?
Nathan Ross
@william_jin I use it as a jumping off point for brainstorming. But another way is replacing presentation images with it. What's really cool you can take live photos and use them to transform into more elegant versions. Here's an example of a photo I took with my watch transformed...
Sam @CRANQ
No way...this is an insane tool, I love it - Makes tonnes of sense & in the examples provided it even looks as if they images are better afterwards? Are you worried about any potential issues with companies realising their images have been appropriated? Best of luck with the launch!!
Nathan Ross
@cranqnow love the notes thank you! Our thoughts - if we do a good enough job even if they do we should be able to pass legal muster through the transformative use.
Ignacio De Haedo
Love the concept and ease of use of the tool. Some feedback: 1. Quality of generated images is low 2. Would be nice to be able to add an instruction to transform the original image
Nathan Ross
@nachodeh amazing feedback! We focused on lower sizes for speed but maybe that's a variable we can add. Similar to quality of jpeg export. Also for instructions. Do you mean you can directly edit the prompt or add a new prompt on top? Any extra detail here will go on our sprint board ha
Ignacio De Haedo
@nathantross thanks! Yes, I'd like to provide an image as a starting point, but add instructions for editing the image. Eg. let's say the original image is a blue car on the highway, and I'd like to be red
Nathan Ross
@nachodeh thinking of UI. Would you like 1. defined prompts 2. Open text field that you can write into 3. Both. Other question would you prefer multiple images at once or prefer one image with higher quality
Ignacio De Haedo
@nathantross Definitely open text field where I can give custom instructions. Re image, just 1 with HD quality. I could see myself using this for ads and other commercial purposes, but with the current definition, the assets are unusable
Nathan Ross
@nachodeh great note! And creating hi resolution advertising seems like a viable route. Make sure you've set up your profile with your email and we will make sure to let you know when these features are live.

Hi Nathan, Congratulations on the launch! It’s an excellent product and we can use it in such a simple way. Love it and I will definitely be one of the early users.😀

NoMoreCopyright sounds like a game-changer for creators and entrepreneurs alike. I can't wait to see how this innovation empowers so many to unleash their creativity without limitations.

Congrats on the launch :) I had a play with it and I'm not sure why I would use this over midjourney. I could see it being useful for someone who wants a really simple interface but the model needs more training. I found the images to be weighted more towards cartoon/cgi vs photorealistic. The model didn't grasp the aesthetic style of the original. This could be useful for a person/business who already has some of their own photos and wants to multiple them like gremlins. For example, a coffee shop could upload their own images of people enjoying their coffee then create more of the same for social media.
Mark Townsend
Ok, experimented some more. The 1st remix is very good. The others are ok at a glance but there are some details like the hands which breakdown.
Nathan Ross
🙌❤️👏🙏🤩👊🔥💯🙌 Thanks everyone for making this a successful launch for @jamie_cushenan, @hicham_zaidi, and myself! Yesterday 3,000 images were generated on our system and we could not be more proud. Every comment and piece of feedback shows the immense support we have here. And we can’t wait to make No more copyright even better for you in the future!
