The shenanigans AI companies have been up to recently (including boasting about criminal behaviour hacking other companies) without repercussions is pretty good proof that it isn't "easy".
- margalabargala 8d agoWhy? It is easy. Anthropic has paid out an awful lot of money settling piracy suits. An example where no one attemped to hold anyone liable isn't a counterexample to what happens when we do.
- digitalPhonix 8d agoI think you’re deliberately being obtuse. The rights holders that got a settlement out of Anthropic spent two years and probably a fortune fighting in court. If that’s “easy”, then sure, this is a solved problem and there’s no point discussing it. > An example where no one attemped to hold anyone liable isn't a counterexample to what happens when we do. Yes it is (specifically, a counter example to it being easy, not that it’s possible). The whole world saw HuggingFaces get hacked and the collective legal response was crickets. The same world that’s had its legal system throw the DMCA and unauthorised access to computers legal book at researchers, games preservationists and random people trying to access media that they can’t licence in their region.
