    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.

      I am squarely on the reddit should lose this side.

      Anthropic may be breaking copyright, but not Reddit’s copyright. Sure maybe Anthropic should be sued, but not by Reddit.

        Actually this case could be a good thing. The whole question of who owns user generated content needs hashing out, because no one seems to actually know.

        Obviously the logical answer would be that the people who created it own the content, but that’s never been officially decided.

            Yeah maybe we shouldn’t have the case in the US where money rules everything.

            EU get on it.

          It’s billionaires. They know. They just sometimes squable over it like two year olds. But they know. They pay lawyers to make it clear in thousand page terms of service documents.

      You mean Reddit, the company that would be very happy if Anthropic did the exact same thing, but paid Reddit first?

      “Violating copyright without a licence” is a lovely turn of phrase. You must be the valedictorian of the Lemmy School of Copyright.
