'Meta Torrented over 81 TB of Data Through Anna's Archive, Despite Few Seeders' * TorrentFreak
-
$250k * [every book in existence] is literally nothing?
Remember, "offense" doesn't mean "per torrent," it means "per copyrighted work infringed."
-
If the receiving entity then ingests all that copyrighted material into its AI, and the AI sends it piece at a time to other receiving entities, that should be the AI infringing on everything it is copying to make its answers.
-
Meta has open sourced every single one of their llms. They essentially gave birth to the whole open llm scene.
If they start losing all these lawsuits, the whole scene dies and all those nifty models and their fine-tunes get removed from huggingface, to be repackaged and sold to us with a subscription fee. All the other domestic open source players will close down.
The copyright crew aren't the good guys here, even if it's spearheaded by Sarah Silverman and Meta has traditionally played the part of the villain.
-
Meta stole from everyone, including those that struggle to make ends meet, so it doesn’t matter that they gave you back some of it. Any moral qualms should evaporate when you consider that they did it to create shareholder value and the rest is philanthropy (aka pretend tax). As a socialist I believe that man is owed for his work and you can’t take from him even though technology makes it so easy.
-
Yes, yes it should. But that's a different act than the one being discussed here.

What is Anna’s Archive?
-
Don't give me that slop. No one except the biggest names are getting a dime out it once OpenAI buys up all the data and kills off their competition. It's also highly transformative, which is perfectly legal.
Copyright laws have been turned into a joke, only protecting big money and their interests.

They'll be fined 100k

So it’s like thepiratebay or 1337x.to but for books?
Also I think you mean prosecuting, not persecuting.
-
Those are torrents, Annas Archive is typically used for direct downloads.
-
Thanks. It’s confusing because everyone is talking about torrents. It’s in the title even, but I didn’t read the article.
-
And they'll ham up how punished and sorry they are, and how thankful they are for the judge handing down "fair and impartial" justice.
-
Well i think you can also torrent off of there too. There are massive backup files on their home page that they are basically begging people to download and seed... So maybe it's that?
-
Lieber Genosse, der Hype um Affirming Incompetence (AI) ist der dieser Zeit die höchste Ausdruck der Entfremdung der Menschen von sich selbst, Zeugnis des Begehrens nach und Voraussetzung also der weitergehenden Fetischisierung seines Zugriffs auf Welt. Wie jedoch Bernard Stiegler so schön bemerkte: Kein Savoir-vivre ohne Savoir-faire! Dies seien die unabdingbaren Bedingungen für die Befreiung der Menschheit aus den sich selbst angelegten Ketten zur Errichtung einer geschwisterlichen Ordnung!
(now have fun w/ an LLM's attempt of "advancement"!)
-
I agree. Still doesn't hurt to bring it up on appropriate tangents.
-
Calling property labor, doesn't make you a socialist.
-
TPB and 1337x are torrents, whereas Anna’s Archive typically uses direct downloads. So it’s more akin to the old CoolROMs back before the massive takedown purges.
