I am still having a hard time seeing how “content” creating companies really have anything legally to stand onto on, short of the system simply making it up on the fly to keep the whole system from collapsing.
If the arguments of content creators is valid, as I understand them being made, then those content creating entities should also have been paying the people who created the content some form of “royalties” too every time someone sees their content, right?
Further extending that argument, the likes of artists and authors and even anyone who went to a university, especially a private one, should owe those entities “royalties” for the knowledge they keep reusing all their life, right?
Short of people doing already illegal things like hack servers instead of simply paying for a service to gain access to the “content”, I don’t see any way this is a legitimate argument unless we want to upend the whole foundation of the whole system of society, or at least create an unsustainable inconsistency and conflict in the system that will eventually destroy itself.
To preempt a counter; if scrapping is illegal and not allowed, what if an AI company simply employs an army of humans to copy paste the information into new files, you know, like many university students may do for notes?
