Well for one thing you visiting his site and displaying it via reader mode doesn't remove his ability to sell paid licenses for his content to companies that would like to redistribute his content. Meanwhile having those companies do so for free without a license obviously does.
- lolinder 2y agoShould OP be allowed to demand a license for redistribution from Orion Browser [0]? They make money selling a browser with a built-in ad blocker. Is that substantially different than what Perplexity is doing here? [0] https://kagi.com/orion/ https://kagi.com/orion/

- lolinder 2y agoI asked you this in the other subthread, but what exactly is the moral distinction (I'm not especially interested in the legal one here because our copyright law is horribly broken) between these two scenarios? * User asks proprietary web browser to fetch content and render it a specific way, which it does * User asks proprietary web service to fetch content and render it a specific way, which it does The technical distinction is that there's a network involved in the second scenario. What is the moral distinction?
- gpm 2y agoJust put a long comment on the other thread addressing this.
