Hypocrites.
You built an industry on scraping the internet and now you’re shocked someone scraped you. You normalized the idea that anything publicly accessible is fair game for training. That’s the precedent you set. I don’t want to hear you bitch about it now.
@simonbs Lets just forget about copyright.
If it is accessible it should be free to be copied.
I hope the EU starts the wave by abolishing US copyright in EU.
@UlrikNyman Okay, I'm a creator. I write words and music, and I'm a photographer. The only way to market my work is to make it accessible at least in some form.
So how do I get paid if everything accessible should be free to be copied? If I can't use #copyright to protect my work and claim legal ownership so I get paid for my work, then why should I create?
Something has to pay the bills for creators, authors, and artists, or else you won't have any creators, authors, or artists.
If we realistically should do this I think fundraising before starting projects (kickstarter) or pay as you go for extra content (patreon) would be a solution.
If I should be more realistic I would actually like us to have 5 or 10 years of copyright and not close to infinite.
