A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'd think, in this case, you'd still have to legally acquire the content. So meta pirating a ton of books would still be piracy, the act of piracy would be illegal. Scraping the entire internet for publicly posted data isn't illegal, however, so that's still "fair game". Of course, the internet is full of illegally posted content, so I'm not sure how you account for all that when training AI (most model makers probably don't bother to try). "Sure, we trained our model on Disney movies, but user FartFace6969 posted them to youtube mirrored with the audio pitched up, your honor!"
