A relevant distinction, perhaps
- michaelmior 4y agoIANAL, but it sounds like what a "person" obtaining a copy means could be challenging to define. If I open my browser, navigate to a page containing the code, and click some type of download button, I think it would be hard to argue that I was not a person obtaining a copy. What if I write a crawler and my crawler downloads a copy of the code for me? Am I still a person obtaining a copy?
- krono 4y agoRather ambiguous, I agree. Sadly it has resulted in billion-dollar multinational commercial entities getting away with stealing and fencing near endless amounts of otherwise protected data by claiming "fair-use". Basilisks are not humans, and the law needs to catch up to this fact.
