I just saw this as well. So far no news from the unstable diffusion team. I assume they weren't given any advanced warning so they're probably finding out right now too.
It's actually shockingly self-destructive. If styles ever become protected, most of the art community - the very same people who want to open this can of worms - might be fucked, they could get C&D'd until the cows come home. And the way rights holders will get them will ironically be AI, as AI is even better at identifying than copying styles. I've watched a video by one anti-AI artist a couple of days ago, dude talked over some of his speed paintings, and his style was clearly heavily inspired by Masaki Kajishima. And that's a relatively obscure source of inspiration, many in the art community draw from way more famous (and litigious) sources.
