GenericUser2001 So dumb of Nvidia to do that sort of thing; should have done what Google did (when Google was creating its Google Books) and check books out of libraries to scan them. Or just bought a copy of each book. 197k x say $20 a book is less than $4 million, peanuts for Nvidia. Reply
DRagor Normal person copies a copyrighted data for personal use: It's a Piracy! Meanwhile big company copies thousands of those for commercial use: it's a fair use. More and more we are living in alternate reality world of Monty Python's 'tis a scratch would'. Reply
das_stig Oh please, let the judge say they are pirates, would love to see the big boys get sued for billions for deliberate copyright infringement with intent of enrichment. Reply
bigdragon Nvidia then cited the Cox vs. Sony ruling, where the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a service provider is not liable for any piracy that its users might carry out. Is Nvidia using AI lawyers or something? What a bizarre defense! Cox vs Sony has the users as the infringing party. I interpret this situation as Books3 vs Authors where Nvidia could be seen as the infringing user. Nvidia gets their received stolen property taken away at best under this interpretation, and at worst they get held liable for each and every instance of infringing token. I know Nvidia is trying to say that they're a middleman like Cox, but I think the torrent providers already play that role. I hope Nvidia — and the rest of the AI industry — gets a huge reality check from copyright holders via this lawsuit. Reply
Shiznizzle This is getting ridiculous now. If a private citizen wants to make money by illegally "scraping", as they call it, content on the net, they are thrown in jail. They do not get to ask for exemptions to the law based on the fact that they believe downloading content ,that is copyright protected, is legal because they chose not to seed it. When Meta dos this, its ok though. Their case was throw out as i recall. Meaning that some of their claims were upheld. I think the authorities in charge are appealing this. I am no lawyer but what sort of mental gymnastics do you have to perform to twist the illegal possession and downloading of copyright material into a legal activity? Simply because you did not share this material. Nvida wants exemptions to the copyright law based on the fact that they are not responsible for their users' behavior on their networks? Thats ok then. We will just look the other way when Nvidia then directs their own employees to do this on the ISP network then. All good now. ISP at fault. Of course google wants the opt-out system as you are opted in by default. The largest and most dangerous data hoovering company in the world wants yet more data to feed their AI with. These companies are after profits mind you. Money. And to get there they are twisting minds so they can do illegal things the rest of us cant Reply

Because if you are, you'd be100% correct!! Reply
Concerned Liberty On the one hand I think these AI companies should have to pay some kind of license to use copyrighted works. On the other hand I think copyrights should last at maximum 20 years and then those works should fall into the Public Domain. Trademarks should last for as long as a Brand is actively using it, but cannot be used to prevent copyrighted materials from falling into the Public Domain. (Looking at Disney with that one, in particular.) Reply
MobileJAD I want to go back in time to when Nvidia was all about making really cool GPU's for gaming at reasonable prices and wasn't weirdly obsessed with AI… Reply
