Zuckerberg is a parasite. But he’s incentivized to be so by our current US policies.

Look at that face. His parents and his bullies failed us all in exactly the same way: he should have been hit more.
If they have sufficient evidence, throw the book at him. Commercial copyright infringement is something that comes closest to earn capital punishment in the US.
They will settle it for 6.37$
Doesnt that make him personal liable since he personally comitted the crimes?
Crimes only count for poors.
yes we know we have known this has been known since the start nothing will come of this
I am not surprised. They break the law and account for the fines in their business model.
Not that they would ever get punished, but if they did, it should be based on a percentage of their net worth. None of this "oh, 200 billion annually? Please pay your $100 fine"
Yep cause copyright infringement is only an issue when its done to them
Them = publishers? Yes, because publishers and the authors who supply them are the ones owning copyrights. Who else but owners would care about copyrights (literally the rights to copy). It does look to me like AI developers infringed on tons of copyrights but that will be for the court to look at and decide.
Copyright is bullshit, but the only thing worse is assholes like Zuck getting away with what's illegal for everyone else.
And even if the lawsuit wins, you know the fines are a) going to be paltry b) mostly not going to go to those affected... which is everybody, basically.
Rules for thee..
Take it all down
Techlords are writing american laws, securing government contracts. Nothing will be done.
Until the working class bands together and brings these fucks down
YOU WOULDN'T DOWNLOAD THE ENTIRE INTERNET TO TRAIN A WORTHLESS AI BOT
DMCA the whole c suite into bankruptcy and prison
don't tell me what i would or wouldn't do, comrade toilet observer. do you have something you'd like to share with the community? did you observe anything of note?
As i browsed the Internet from my throne of glory, there was the distinct smell of shit
Seriously? Shit? That's all you have to give us? As a toilet observer I'd expected something more poetic.
Damnit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a linguist
Laws don't apply to the rich, we all know that, and so does Zuckerbot.
The worst that will happen is a small fine. Small for them, but devastating for anyone not in control of hundreds of billions. "Cost of doing business." And, they'll keep right on doing it.
Zuckerberg seems to be on a losing streak: from the Metaverse tanking, to the Meta Ray-Ban glasses being used to spy on people (and train Ai), and this lawsuit on copyright infringement. When was the last time any of his companies had a win? Every time they seem to steal defeat from any sort of victory.
