  That’s exactly what Meta did, they torrented the full libgen database of books.

  If they can do it, anybody should be able to do it.

    I like how their whole excuse to that was “WE DIDN’T SEED ANY OF IT BACK THOUGH” which arguably makes it even worse lol.

      It doesn’t. You can download anything you want, distribution is what is illegal and criminal.

        Downloading is still infringement. Distribution is worse, but I don’t think it’s a criminal matter, still just civil.

    Technically it was never illegal in the US to download copywritten content. It was illegal to distribute them. That was literally Meta’s defence in court: they didn’t seed any downloads.

      they didn’t seed any downloads

      So Meta, 100% leeching.

  My mind is AI and I need this content to train it.

    I’m not sure if my brain counts as artificial, but with all the microplastics, it sure ain’t organic.
