Then play by your own rules. Nobody can truly stop you from anything. For the most part society tries to give you consequences after the fact.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

They should not be allowed to gobble up knowledge like that. I get that if they want to buy a book and analyze it, that should be ok. Similarly, you should be able to analyze a DVD. No one owns facts. But in order to analyze, they need a digital copy, at least I assume so. If they don’t make a digital copy and just analyze, then technically they are not doing anything wrong (I might be wrong about this). I do not agree with them destroying books though. Like Meta is in hot water for illegally coping many books without paying for them, but not for analyzing the books to train their models.

If you have a reasonable suspicion your copyrights are being violated, you might want to talk to a lawyer so you can at least engage in discovery.
This chap will be really mad when he learns what the first D in DVD is.
