For some misterious reason I can't see Zuckerberg in front of a judge facing 50 years imprisonment. Anyone can?
I truly hope that whoever takes the case goes after Meta with 1000 times the pressure that was put on Swartz, but honestly I don't expect much just as the top comment precisly expressed.
And if we are going to be fair please also let's not forget about the other usual suspects, or anyone thinks they are falling behind?
- impossiblefork 2y agoThere are other countries than the US though and if rightsholders wish to sue, lawsuits can happen there too. Several EU countries, Switzerland, South Korea, Japan, etc. are viable countries to sue from. Even in Japan which has a law specifically permitting training on copyrighted material you must still obtain it legally-- i.e. you must license it.
- hnfong 2y agoThat's irrelevant. Switzerland (for example) isn't going to arrest Zuckerberg and put him in jail for this either. Nobody will. But if you're operating a site called Pirate Bay or something like that and it's not earning billions of dollars, expect countries to chase you across the globe trying to arrest you.
- impossiblefork 2y agoIf there were a criminal prosecution for willful copyright infringement in some non-US country an extradition request for the relevant people is not an impossibility though, and there would be no legal reason to deny it.
