Separate from the level of consequences for an AI company or this guy- for example if he was forced to simply take the video down or pay a small fine relevant to the level of piracy he was encouraging.
- snickerdoodle12 1y agoMy personal opinion is that since the laws haven't changed and society is still harshly punishing individuals for copyright infringement all the companies that have downloaded e.g. anna's archive should be dismantled, or at the very least their executives should be jailed. Maybe the laws should be changed, maybe not, but the fact is that they haven't been. RIP Aaron Swartz.
- awongh 1y agoIt's not as if individuals are the only ones who bear the consequences though- huge companies sue each other all the time over copyright. I guess it's a function of the legal system at all levels that money buys you more access to justice- not sure if that's a copyright issue specifically.
- snickerdoodle12 1y agoThe consequences are not at all proportional. Individuals get their lives ruined, some even driven to suicide. Often they're not even profiting, at least not directly. Companies shield the executives and workers breaking the law (and profiting from it!) and barely get fined, if at all. Often they're just told to cease & desist.
