Exactly I'm a data engineer and people have no clue what they're talking about in this thread.
If we require copyright for transformative work that would mean trillions lost in growth - its just something that cant even happen no matter how hard we'd want it. Most people are not even aware of the implications such copyright overreach would have.
So do you target AI training explicitly? How can that he even enforced? Is my review sentiment evaluation machine illegal now? What if I RAG copyrighted content in am I in jail now? How could this possible be ever enforced? It's so stupid.
This issue is dominated by tech illiterate who jusy want to be angry at corporations but instead of doing something about it they fall for copyright propaganda.
If we don't know how to control our emotions, they will lead us to make bad decisions. That emotion will only be temporary, but the decision will be permanent, and we'll regret it later.
No. Same rules as everyone else.
Disclosure of training sources
If your sources are copyrighted, yes.
Unlikely. None payment of restitution in a civil case could end in jail via contempt of court.
The same way other copyright claims are enforced.
Literacy in technology has no effect on the law.
We're had many years of publishing strengthening their legal position. It's case law, not propaganda.
Hit the nail on the head.
