- sp332 4y agoThere is already a class action lawsuit. The companies that move forward with "dirty" models can be wiped out by legal fees before they got off the ground.

- mullingitover 4y agoThis will likely just entrench the companies with pockets deep enough to satisfy the lawyers in the class action suits. It might burn down a startup. On the other hand, if Microsoft thinks it's a potential $500 billion business, a $1 billion settlement is just table stakes.

- dfadsadsf 4y agoHas this ever happen in practice for well funded company outside Napster case? I am skeptical that training on publicly accessible data can be ruled illegal. Too many side effects including making Google Search problematic.
- mullingitover 4y agoThat likely wouldn't be on the table in a settlement offer, and it might be a tough sell for the plaintiff class to get nothing or a protracted legal battle instead of an easy and significant payout. Anything is possible, but I don't think a lawsuit's likely outcome in this situation would be a scorched earth fight.
