A license violation usually implies that there is a copyright violation to begin with.

@Foxboron@chaos.social Yeah but that's what I mean: Just because the end result is not copyrightable, does that automatically mean that it can't be a copyright violation? Like, changing the format or medium of something is not a copyrightable work. So, by that logic, if I take a copyrighted MP3 and convert it to AAC and publish that, my AAC is not copyrightable, but it's not a copyright violation to take it and publish it? That's what I mean.

@Foxboron@chaos.social @scy@chaos.social No. You can violate existing copyrighted material during creation of a not copyrightable material.
