- sebzim4500 3y agoIn order to render that page, it probably was copied dozens of times all over my RAM. Do I owe NYT money now?
- dillydogg 3y agoWell, are you making money off of those copies?
- sebzim4500 3y agoNot personally, but if I was training to be a journalist then yes.
- contravariant 3y agoDoes reading news articles not benefit you? If not why continue reading?
- FrustratedMonky 3y agoExactly. If I read a NYT article, and decide to invest in some company, then sell the stock, make a profit. Do I owe the NYT a percentage because I used knowledge I "read" from one of their articles? I "read", input, (into my brain neural net) where it mixed with other inputs.
