Am I understanding it correctly. So internally if a company is using a competitor's stolen data directly, then if anyone finds out they're in legal trouble. But if they train a model and then use the model, then they're in the clear?
- willtemperley 9mo agoYes I think there's evidence for that. Looking at recent precedents, even if the data are illegally downloaded, big tech has been getting away with using copyrighted data, for example: https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/big-tech-wins-in-copyright-cases-come-with-strings-attached https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/big-tech-wins-in-c...
- fc417fc802 9mo agoNo. Maybe. It depends. If the other party can prove you broke into their system then you've got a problem. If you redistribute something that's copyrighted you've got a problem. Merely possessing something isn't a problem in and of itself ... probably? Unless the other party can demonstrate damages at least.
