Can’t blame him for trying
He doesn’t get a free pass on shitty behavior just because he wants to be rich. That’s sociopath talk. Or capitalist. Whatever.

I mean, we live in a capitalist society that rewards that kind of behavior but more so, as a musician he has the right to defend his art from “theft”. IA responded appropriately. Realistically, a competent digital rights lawyer should have stopped him before it became news… but I don’t see this as being a sociopath.

Yes we fucking can! We can absolutely blame shitty people for trying to do shitty things, and suing an archive for archiving is one of 'em!

By that logic, AI engineers can just say they’re an archive and steal IP from artists to “lend” it to their LLM? I’m not saying the dude was in the right, I’m saying calling yourself an archive doesn’t automatically make you immune to IP challenges. When IA started “controlled digital lending” shortly after the pandemic, they started taking fire from creators.
An archive archives things. It’s not a library, it’s not a tor host, and CDL shouldn’t have happened… but everyone was on lockdown.
