Foundation models are large-scale deep learning models that serve as a base for various downstream tasks. The training process of these models involves minimizing the reconstruction error over a training set, which can lead to the memorization and reproduction of training samples. This paper introduces a perspective where the model's weights are seen as a compressed representation of the training data. This view has implications for copyright law, as the weights could be considered a reproduction or derivative work of potentially protected data. The paper explores the technical and legal challenges of this perspective, suggesting that an information-centric approach could address these issues.
