Pursuing piracy claims against a multi-billion dollar corporation with armies of its own legal sharks and also political lobbying connections is much harder than going after rando sites and casual users of piracy. Ergo, it gets sidestepped.
I have my serious quibbles on how piracy and infringement should be defined. However, as they're often currently defined by those seeking sanctions should mean that organizations like OpenAI would absolutely be considered guilty with their scraping. Yet, they get away with it with essentially no legal sanction. Also, shame you were downvoted for your perfectly reasonable observation of a major hypocrisy.
- Vampiero 2y agoThe law shouldn't be about who can afford the most lawyers. It naturally consolidates power which is pretty dangerous to democracy.
- southernplaces7 2y agoI agree that the law shouldn't be about that. I'm just pointing out how it apparently is when it comes to legal claims and charges of infringing behavior.
