All I’m hearing is that pirating is A-OK as long as you claim it’s for model training
Sorry, but no. That’s just the paper-thin excuse.
Pirating, like pretty much anything else that’s sometimes a crime in the current US, is A-OK if you can buy enough judges and politicians.
I just put a thin blue line sticker on my case and full send that bitch.
The ruling explicitly does not allow pirating. It only lets you run ML training on legally acquired media.
They still haven’t ruled on copyright infringement from pirating the media used to train, and they haven’t ruled on copyright status of outputs (what it takes to be considered transformative).
This is judge Alsup, same guy who ruled in Oracle vs Google
American law has become a literal fucking joke (IAAL). I could’ve guessed the could get the outcome of this case without any facts: the huge corporation wins over authors. American law is no longer capable of holding major corporations to account, so we need a new legal system—one that’s actually functional.
Do you want a new constitution in the United States?
Could start with a guillotine for corporations and see how that goes.
If a pact between enslavers is a complete failure, why not just make another one? \s
But the actual process of an AI system distilling from thousands of written works to be able to produce its own passages of text qualified as “fair use” under U.S. copyright law because it was “quintessentially transformative,” Alsup wrote.
Thats the actual argument and the judge is right here. LLMs are transformative in every sense of the word. The technology is even called “transformers”.
Yeah, well, I could call my dick the Magnum Opus but that wouldn’t make it two feet long.

The judge explicitly did not allow piracy here. Only legally acquired media can be used for training.

Again maybe you should give it another shot - piracy is still illegal but training is legal. How would “you torrenting movies” be alright here? You see how it makes no sense?
I’d feel better about this if meta actually produced anything of value and I was able to also violate their copyright, but they’re just fucking leeches bro
Wow you mean the state serves capital? I thought for sure it would once again fight for the rights of artists and their extremely profitable IP. \s \s \s
Of course it ended up that way. Who do you think lobbies for this kind of shit? Whos paying those who make the decisions?
