It means they put up a firewall blocking all EU access and continue business in the US. Same with open-source software in general with how that’s going.

- TheAceOfHearts 3y agoIt's literally impossible to block Europeans from getting access to these models, since bypassing geographic restrictions is trivial. Will Github add an option to limit repo access in certain regions? If this passes, will devs be banned from using GitHub for the development of open source models?
- gjsman-1000 3y ago> It's literally impossible to block Europeans from getting access to these models, since bypassing geographic restrictions is trivial I think that doesn’t matter because the strength of the lock is generally irrelevant legally. Weak DRM is still a copyright violation to break in the US; and breaking a rusted 50-year-old lock on an item that doesn’t belong to you is still illegal. I would hope that EU courts would recognize that anyone importing that software gets liability.
