- 4gotunameagain 3mo agoWhat did the law require ? And since when do AI companies care about copyright law ?
- ceejayoz 3mo agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine > After the initial transfer of ownership of a legal copy of a copyrighted work, the first-sale doctrine eliminates the copyright holder's right to control ownership of that specific copy.
- JohnFen 3mo agoHow does the first sale doctrine require these horrific companies to destroy the books? As near as I can tell, there is no legal pressure for them to do that. They're destroying them because that's how their scanning machinery works.
- jdiff 3mo agoThey ignored the same copyright laws in many other cases. Why do we believe they were abiding strictly by it this time?
