Remember Aaron Swartz and the tragic fate he suffered? Remember the kids who downloaded games or MP3 files, whose parents were threatened, and in some cases, extorted for money under copyright laws? Yes, where are those copyright laws now? Why are courts and governments now giving a free pass to filthy rich OpenAI, Microsoft, Google & Anthropic? I hate everything about this dual treatments. These AI companies even have audacity to tell others their AI output is copyrighted & others can't use it

@nixCraft@mastodon.social IANAL, but I think these executives either knew or got consultation about the differences between civil and criminal law. If they broke criminal law, they would risk going to jail, but if they broke civil law, they would only have to make it up later in financial penalties*. I think that's the key. * - and not even themselves, essentially OPM.
