I hope they lose this case badly.
For the concerns I have about AI and stealing others work, I want to see Reddit burn for pretending that they are all about community and connection, while actively harming their users’ experience on the platform and attempting to profit off their content.
Yeah, something about a company making billions of dollars off completely user generated content and moderation just runs me the wrong way. As much as I hate Facebook, they at least pay people to do moderation there, and regularly update their site (as shitty as it is). I dont use either anymore, and I hope they die in a pit of flames owing billions to their shareholders.
No matter who wins, everyone loses.
This is like one of those cases where I’m kind of hoping they both lose somehow. Neither party are right in this case, Reddit is trying to claim copyright over content they have no rights to, and anthropic shouldn’t be violating copyright without a licence.
But apparently you are actually allowed to violate copyright without a licence if you’re an AI company because apparently llms are the future? So I guess Reddit are going to lose, which will be funny.
Judge finds that anthropic has to pay restitution to the reddit users. Affirms that posts belong to users.
Well, I can dream.
“Violating copyright without a licence” is a lovely turn of phrase. You must be the valedictorian of the Lemmy School of Copyright.
Is it violating copyright to browse the web?
I think it’s acceptable as long as you don’t learn anything.
Only 100,000 times? Shit, do I need to be worried about getting sued too?
All porn subreddits are exempted
Reddit is just mad that Anthropic didn’t pay them
… Yes?
Yes that is how capitalism works
The Users posted for free. They didn’t get paid. They should be publicly available for scraping
As the fediverse gods intended
I’m a reddit user, where’s my share?!?!

Spez can forever get fucked
while half of reddit is infested with propaganda bots from russia.
Not just Russia.
Israel, US, China, North Korea, India and other countries… Nuclear Lobby, Fossil Fuel Lobby and countless other industry lobbyists… Private companies advertising their products…
But have you seen Rampart?
First of all, I have not seen it, and second off, I don’t want to see it. Lets focus on the Reddit lawsuit.
Long story short: They are not combatting bots on their platform. They sold training data to google and these guys aren’t paying, that’s why they’re suing.
“We’re the front page of the Internet!”
“No, not like that…”
“We’re the front page of the Internet! …as long as the front page isn’t scraped…” >:(
I hope they both choke on their own bots.
Bots? On Reddit!?
It’s more likely than you think!
100.000 accesses isn’t that much, right?
Back in the day that’s about how many times I accessed reddit a week.
Edit: I guess great minds think alike.
Jokes on you for crawling mostly synthetic text?
hope reddit loses
