Comment on Square Enix, Bandai, and other Japanese studios demand OpenAI stop using their content without permission, drop a not-too-subtle hint about legal trouble if it doesn't

  Your VCR is hooked up to your TV (coaxial into the VCR and from the VCR into the TV). Just before the broadcast starts, you press the record button (which was often mechanically linked to the play button). When it’s done, you press stop. Then you rewind and can play it back later.

  The end user is sort of passively recording it. The broadcast happens regardless of the user’s or the VCR’s presence.

    Well derailed, succesfully avoided going anywhere near the actual argument.

    I’m sure the manufacturers would’ve been in more legal trouble if they shipped VCRs packed with pirated content.

    VCRs do not contain such copyrighted material.
