Property Releases and cartoon style (Generative AI)

I'm confused about Property Releases when the generated AI images of people are cartoon style. Are Property Releases necessary in this case too?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Lizbeth*,

     

    As you are the “property owner” and the “artist”, why is it so difficult just to create a property release and attach that to your assets? When doing a cartoon style image of me, I would be able to recognize me in that cartoon, so you would need to submit a model release signed by me. As this is the rule, and the rule says that if a model release would be necessary, but the depicted person is non-existent, you need a property release. That was also a requirement for “classic” artists, long before generative AI killed the classic art.

     

    Yes, property releases are necessary.

    I'm not sure from your question: do you know the difference between "model release" and "property release" ?

    From the question, it seemed to me that the lady had read the requirements, as it was a very precise question.

      If the person, even as a cartoon, is recognizable, then yes!

      Since every person (even unrecognizable) generated in AI needs a Property Release, I was wondering if instead a person (unrecognizable) in cartoon style still needs Property Releases.

      If looks like a real existent person, needs a Model Release, if the person don't resemble anyone real, needs a Property Release
