while OpenAI & friends have been infringing copyright on a much, much bigger scale, and getting away with it.

Based on what? Distributing numbers in a big database doesn't infringe on copyright, and downloading a web page or image doesn't either.

The feature creep is a feature, not a bug. They want to be in a perpetual state of early access. They realize that it brings them more money than actually releasing the game and everybody being disappointed.

Just think of the hype of Cyperpunk 2077 before launch and after launch. Before launch, people would be willing to sacrifice their first-born child to play the game. After launch, the hype completely evaporated into scorn.

Oh, they paid her legal fees? How nice!

Of course, that doesn't fucking matter when she was put in prison for five years.

And I am of the opinion that spreading access to knowledge is vastly more important than copyright laws made decades before the internet was a thing. Especially when is comes to US copyright laws being forced upon the rest of the world.

Breaking the law is not how you change copyright laws. Ironically, AI is the best way to crack copyright laws like an egg, but everybody seems to be vehemently opposed to it.

Not sure why this is getting downvoted. It's completely accurate.

They pushed this "digital library" idea to even beyond their own definition, got punished for it, and now they are at-risk of losing their core function. Corporations and alt-right shills would love to get rid of any trace of accountability, and this is one avenue that calls them out on the bad shit they post online.

So tenacious that they'll leak their sources and put them in prison.

This is not the place for commas. This calls for a slash.

Alan Wake / Control developer agrees
