  Phase one: force everyone’s data into their OneDrive account. OneDrive now at capacity, you must upgrade to ensure all your data is backed up and retained.

  Phase two: MS secretly (or not so secretly) use all this data to train copilot.

  Human generated content to feed into ai systems is the new good rush

    If it’s made without any agreement from the user (hundred pages long EULA doesn’t count), time to GRPD the fuck out of them.

      I’m pretty sure the END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT counts.

        Not in the EU it doesn’t, unless they got the user to review that Agreement and agree before the sale took place.

        After the implicit contract which is the sale has been agreed to by both parties (the buyer gave the money, the seller took it), one of the parties can’t force the other party to agree to a new contract before they’re allowed to get the contractual benefits of the original contract (i.e. the buyer getting to use the product they bought, the seller getting to use the money they got).

        The seller can’t take away the contractual rights (specifically, to use the product they bought) that the buyer got through the act of the sale when they paid the seller.

        To be fair, they’re usually actually good at legally fucking everyone into the ground. The rest of the company they don’t really care that much as long as the money printer goes brrrrr

    Rent seeking, theft/copyright infringement, walled garden you can’t escape (if Microsoft holds all your files good luck getting them back on Linux)

    Microsoft needs to die.
