@whvholst So you are saying there are demos that do in fact store a representation of an image (etc) in violation of the Shannon limit, rather than create an image from statistical metrics that are not representing the image?
@webmink I would say that copyright law doesn't care for the Shannon Limit being violated or not and that courts will consider that argument irrelevant sophistry. If a procedural generator can create an image that is sufficiently similar to an image that is protected by copyright, then the procedural generator will be considered a copy. Another way of putting it is that the Shannon Limit may put a floor under which arbitrary lossless compression is no longer possible, but does not preclude... /
