GenericUser2001 They should have done what Google did when it created Google Books – check a ton of books out from libraries, and then mass scan them. Reply
hotaru251 while the court ruled that training AI on books is considered fair use under copyright law so basically if you wanna pirate just make a defense that you were making your own model and you are all good….man the system is so broken its beyond funny…. Reply

Anthropic is having to pay $1.5 billion in a settlement because of their "piracy" (well copyright infringement). I would not call that "all good". Its just that using the data for AI training by itself is considered fair use as it is "transformative" enough to fall under that doctrine. Reply
bigdragon while the court ruled that training AI on books is considered fair use under copyright law So it's fair use for a 380 billion dollar AI company to ingest and later reproduce — for a profit — text from a book verbatim. Meanwhile, some poor puts a quote from a public official in a video, shares a screenshot or clip from a game, or has a few seconds of background music in a short and the corporations are screaming copyright infringement while trying to bury the person responsible. This ruling makes no sense. A normal person would not be treated the same way Anthropic is being treated here. I'm really tired of all these "guilty enough for a payout, but not guilty enough to be assigned fault" rulings. Reply
-Fran- It's ok guys. The investors will pay/cover this with a smile on their collective faces! Heh. Regards. Reply

The solution is simple, find the copyright squatting scum and make them all go on one way camping/fishing trips…no one to claim copyrights on you also means no one to file copyright claims on you, right?

Just for clarity, please define "copyright squatting scum". I'm not following this threatening logic. Reply
Dav_Daddy Admin said: Meta, which reportedly torrented 82TB of pirated books for AI training. The latter argued that its framework also have “non-infringing uses,” but the court said that it’s not the entire system, but specific tools within it that were the issue. As for Meta, it claimed that its use of pirated material was legal as long as it did not seed content. That's only going to work for them if they own a legal copy in some format of each work in question. Actually now that I think about it for a minute. Is there some subscription service that allows you to legally access a very large volume of books for a monthly fee ala Netflix? If so and they weren't using a title in more simultaneous instances than they had a right to there is a chance this could fly! Reply
rw3iss Poor Anthropic. It really is lame. Meta better get slammed worse or this needs a retrial. They're not stealing books and redistributing them. People are still going to buy books if they want to read them. Reply
