Do you think two students writing an essay on the same topic is plagiarism? No? Then congratulations, you understand why a lossy copy is not remotely the same thing as a statistical model.
Really, you just chucked the word “statistical” into a poor description of JPEG, and refused all efforts to explain why that comparison does not work.
Quantization in transformation space. I could explain it in enough detail for you to recreate the codecs I’ve written, if I thought you were actually listening.
In the next reply, I’m going to print out your entire comment history, clip each word into a hat, and pull them out at random, to see if you still respond with equally nonsensical posturing about JPEG.
In the reply after that, I’m going to copy-paste that posturing, but change a few letters.
Everyone but you can see out the difference in these concepts.
So you just put a million JPEGs into a zip file? How is that not infringement?
Because it’s not that.
Isn’t it? Both methods just produced a data structure you can query to obtain a statistical approximation of a subset of the input data.
Just because you moved the statistics from the JPEG to the ZIP file? That makes it ok?
