It would be great if piracy instances were hosted on I2P and TOR. Then these chucklefucks would have nothing.

Apology for hijacking your comment, but I wanted to ask you a question about the Creative Commons link you put at the end of your comment.

Are you doing that because of people who may use your comments to train AI reasons?

If so, do you think legally that covers it, since it’s a link, and not just the text itself?

In other words, would an AI trainer have to drill into the link before they are covered by that clause?

That’s a good question that I don’t have an answer to as I have no legal training. I’m assuming if you can sign a contract online where the legal text is behind a link and the main offer is what you see… maybe? Technically, it wouldn’t be too difficult to simply erase any mention of a license in a pre-cleaning phase of the data, but I don’t know if the act itself would be an even bigger indication of guilt. There would be no excuse like “oops, I just copied this data into my training set, teehee”. But as I said, not a legal expert.

If there are copyright experts that want to weigh in, I’d be interested to hear their opinion. Given that there are running, unanswered cases (most notably again Microsoft’s Copilot), and Japan on the verge of drafting into law that AI training data can ignore copyright, it’s possible even legal experts would have a hard time answer the question.

I’m putting them here just in case. Only costs me a line carriage and a Ctrl+V.

Myself as well. It’s a new frontier, legally.
