A judge has ruled in favor of Meta, saying training AI from copyrighted and pirated books is fair use.
In a similar case a judge ruled in favour of Anthropic.
It is a sad day for book writers. You have been robbed of revenue by the world’s richest people. They will make tons of money while book writers struggle to pay rent and food. There is no justice for artists and writers. My heart goes out to them.
@nixCraftnixCraft 🐧 Well, then theft of intellectual property and commercial exploitation is fine! 🤦♀️ However Archive.org nearly was shut down for fair-using books. Sure, they just benefitted people who wanted to learn, which is evil, instead of megacorps. Or remember private copies of music and software? Evil! Commercial, you need to be.
