To help train AI models, Meta and other tech companies have downloaded and shared pirated books via BitTorrent from Anna’s Archive and other shadow libraries. In an ongoing lawsuit, Meta now argues that uploading pirated books to strangers via BitTorrent qualifies as fair use. The company also stresses that the data helped establish U.S. global leadership in AI.
Uploading torrents qualifies as fair use? Excited to see where this goes. Lol
They don’t mean it’s fair for you. It’s fair for corporations which need the same rights and privileges as people but obviously can’t be held to account like people because shareholders might make less money.
Worth remembering that any group could make a company. They are work, but not particularly class locked.
An Uber driver is also a corporation.
Nowhere, the Zuck has his hand up Trump’s ass.
