Comment on Self-host Reddit – 2.38B posts, works offline, yours forever
Mavytan@feddit.nl 4 weeks agoI’m not at all familiar with legalese, but wouldn’t ‘non-exclusive’ in that statement mean that you, and others permitted by you, can redistribute the content as you see fit? Meaning that copying and redistributing reddit content doesn’t necessarily violate reddit’s terms of service but does violate the user’s copyright?

Yeah so at worst you could get sued by some random reddit users that don’t want their post history hosted on your site.
Given how little traction artists and authors have had with suing AI companies for blatant copyright infringement, I kinda doubt it would go anywhere.
