      It’s different when they do it.

      It’s not copying so it’s not piracy.

      You don’t get to put things on the Internet where anything can view them and then claim copyright keeps them from viewing it…lol

          It is (edit: arguably) legal to stream pirated video. It’s just not legal to host it

        A trained Gen. AI model does not just view it though. It generates content out of it which is copying and prohibited by plenty of licenses (GPL-licensed open source projects for example).

          I think the copy they’re referring to is the initial one that puts it on the Internet without a paywall. Not those that come along after and take a copy.

    Well it would be great if more of their models were ‘freeware’ too.

    Microsoft just loves to have their cake, eat it… and not share it.

    So this argument can be used in cases of piracy? “Your honor, I was simply using this copyrighted movie to train my llm, not to watch illegally.”

    I agree with Microsoft for once. I get all my online content on the open web of TPB. It’s freeware, if you like. It is the understanding.

    Only when the model is also freeware, IMHO.

    I agree looking forward to your whitelisting of the piratebay in ur search engines and the modification of the llms you have invested in helping with such activities.

    At the rate of sites changing their policies, that might end up being true
