As a legal strategy, could it be these large companies with indemnification clauses want to take these cases on rather than risk smaller companies getting sued without adequate resources and therefore defining a suboptimal precedent?
- dkjaudyeqooe 3y agoMakes sense given how much potential liability they're taking on.
- epups 3y agoYeah, I'm starting to think this is the case. They are prepared for a legal fight and likely want one sooner rather than later.
- manojlds 3y agoAnd smaller companies and open models cannot offer the same level of indemnity. Also, this is where having a patent portfolio helps these big companies.
- rockemsockem 3y agoHow exactly are patents involved here? This is simple legal department muscle that they're flexing.
- manojlds 3y agoLegal muscle involves posturing with enforcement of parents.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoSmaller companies certainly can, just at a higher relative level of risk for the overall health of the company.

- artninja1988 3y agoI doubt it. They just think it's fair use.

- tehwebguy 3y agoThey don’t want to take any cases, they want a moat.
- jerjerjer 3y agoYes. And oalso they are being sued on generative AI anyway, might as well get a side of free marketing from it.
- londons_explore 3y agoIf that were their line of thought, they could always step in on a case-by-case basis. No company is going to say no to an offer of Google paying all their legal costs and paying any damages if the case is lost.
