But all these companies violated that on a massive scale. It's done. They're not paying. Oh, and when asked what the consequences are for people doing illegal downloading, ChatGPT helpfully answers:
> About $750 to $30,000 per copyrighted work
> Can go up to $150,000 per work if it’s considered willful
... it was definitely willful. And these are amounts that would bankrupt even OpenAI. But I guess only you and me will have to pay these sorts of amounts, not big companies ...
- freejazz 10mo agoI don't disagree with either of you regarding the doomerism, but Anthropic just paid out the largest US copyright settlement ever, based upon their exposure to the liability of $150k per copyrighted work they faced.
- spwa4 10mo agoI haven't gotten my $150k for one (like a lot of people, I wrote an IT book that chatgpt can 95% repeat sentences from), and nobody I know has gotten theirs either.
- abenga 10mo agoYour publisher probably did. (Figuratively speaking, it always seems to be publisher corpos getting the money in such cases).
- freejazz 10mo agoThe settlement is for $3k per protected work of class members. Are you a class member? You should've been contacted by your publisher if you were. If you weren't in the shadow library, then you are not in the settlement.
