They got sued for violating copyright in general, not for “not destroying books” in particular. Destroying the books was a legal trick they used to continue scanning them without breaking the law.
If I were running the AI company and my lawyers came back with “teeeechnically we can still scan them if we burn them after”, I would reply with “I guess we’re not scanning them”, but I lack the sociopathic instincts required to be a tech CEO I guess.
- pfdietz 2mo agoThe sociopathy here is describing a perfectly acceptable activity as somehow evil. You should be ashamed of yourself.
- ninkendo 2mo agoIndeed, won’t someone please think of the poor AI company CEO’s, we should be ashamed of ourselves for criticizing their perfectly acceptable destruction of our creative works. Thank god you’re here to swoop in and defend them at every turn.
