All I’m hearing is that pirating is A-OK as long as you claim it’s for model training
The ruling explicitly does not allow pirating. It only lets you run ML training on legally acquired media.
They still haven’t ruled on copyright infringement from pirating the media used to train, and they haven’t ruled on copyright status of outputs (what it takes to be considered transformative).
This is judge Alsup, same guy who ruled in Oracle vs Google
Sorry, but no. That’s just the paper-thin excuse.
Pirating, like pretty much anything else that’s sometimes a crime in the current US, is A-OK if you can buy enough judges and politicians.
I just put a thin blue line sticker on my case and full send that bitch.
I’d feel better about this if meta actually produced anything of value and I was able to also violate their copyright, but they’re just fucking leeches bro
Wow you mean the state serves capital? I thought for sure it would once again fight for the rights of artists and their extremely profitable IP. \s \s \s

The judge explicitly did not allow piracy here. Only legally acquired media can be used for training.

Again maybe you should give it another shot - piracy is still illegal but training is legal. How would “you torrenting movies” be alright here? You see how it makes no sense?
Meta literally torrented 82TB of books to train their AI. Why would torrenting movies to train AI be different?
Dude just read the article. Torrenting IS illegal even by Meta here. What’s up with people being willingly illiterate here?
The entire thing judge saying is that you can’t sue for AI training but come back with a different lawsuit hinting at piracy which was just set as precedent in another lawsuit last week.
The anti-AI brainrot is making them hallucinate like the AI they hate so much.
The tinternet is getting like the Wild West again, circa early 200s and Napster and all that… This will pass, dunno when or how but it will pass, or perhaps we will start getting everything paywalled so LLMs can’t just scrape data without some sort of payment. I don’t actually know many people that like AI nowadays
That’s probably your social bubble. My company is currently deepthroating everything that has AI in its name. I jokingly mentioned they should rename the company to Jira&AI, the joke was not well received.
Anyway, most people I know (including me) are somewhere in the middle - not quite fans in the traditional sense, but definitely not disliking AI.
It is, but as many are artists in some ways it is that they dislike the most
It’s sort of like that… Except instead of a bunch of regular people sharing music, it’s a bunch of capitalists stealing all art for profit. Ofc the major difference is that’s it’s legal for capital.
Of course it ended up that way. Who do you think lobbies for this kind of shit? Whos paying those who make the decisions?
