It seems that Creative Commons with the CC Signal will be ignored again.
Reminds me of when ads broke me of my habit of watching hours of television every night. I could totally get behind paying for 3 sites and ignoring the rest of the internet at some point.
Could this conflict with the fair use rulings for AI training? Because using available web content isn't illegal, according to the two rulings issued by federal judges. It's only illegal to pirate books without paying.
I’m guessing the Supreme Court will eventually rule that it’s an American right to crash sites with poorly designed AI bots, resolving this quandary.
I have friends working on related tech.
We shouldn't go all knee-jerk on this one. It's a solid first pass at allowing copyright owners to assert control over their own creations and getting paid for their work.
