  Hmm. That’s not how the US legal concept Fair Use works. What do you mean when you say fair use?

    I would infer from what they wrote that they mean anything not for profit. Seeding isn’t fair use.

      Yeah stuff like fan art, modding games, etc

      Yes, but it’s still not quite clear. Arguably, when you pirate rather than paying, your profit is the money saved on the purchase. Courts tend to see it that way.

      Besides, Meta releases its models for free and I don’t see them getting less flak. In fact, when they were sued by the NYT corporation looking for a profit, people still sided with the profiteers.
