    I’m torrenting movies in order to develop my own AI, your honor. I rest my case. 😎

      The judge explicitly did not allow piracy here. Only legally acquired media can be used for training.

        I actually did. The judge made up some BS “your arguments were bad” ruling. Activist judges. This is selective enforcement so that the plebs cannot legally pirate while corporate has free reign.

          Again maybe you should give it another shot - piracy is still illegal but training is legal. How would “you torrenting movies” be alright here? You see how it makes no sense?

            Meta literally torrented 82TB of books to train their AI. Why would torrenting movies to train AI be different?

              Dude just read the article. Torrenting IS illegal even by Meta here. What’s up with people being willingly illiterate here?

              The entire thing judge saying is that you can’t sue for AI training but come back with a different lawsuit hinting at piracy which was just set as precedent in another lawsuit last week.

                The anti-AI brainrot is making them hallucinate like the AI they hate so much.
