Comment on Anthropic destroyed millions of print books to build its AI models
jarfil@beehaw.org 11 hours agoAren’t copyright laws awesome?
- Buy digital copy… no you can’t, you can only license one
- Buy physical book, now you have a copy
- Want a digital copy? No you can’t, copyright forbids it…
- …unless you destroy the physical copy in the process, then it’s only a format migration
And still, they are suing them for migrating formats without authorization.
All hail Disney and the 150 year copyright term!
