    I’m gonna go to businesses I don’t like, hop on the Wi-Fi, and pirate from all the most obvious trackers.

      Great sentiment but we all know a business will get a pass for this just like when Meta got busted torrenting all those books and were told its okay because they’re using it to train their AI.

        Is that the conclusion? I thought that’s still under investigation. I remember reading about it months after the first reports.

    Remember when a certain company just paid a large fine for pirating information to train AI?

    So step 1 should be to remove Internet access to Meta, if you aren’t going to do that, then it is 100% corrupt.

    I hope the SCOTUS justices aren’t using 3-strikes-you’re-out ISPs! All it would take is three random DMCA takedown notices and they’d lose Internet.

    accused of repeat copyright infringements

    Does this court determine whether this concrete accusation against a person holds as well, or does this court determine whether an accusation is enough?
