A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Training data gets gathered with scrapers
IF the owners of the data agree, or, if they disagree, until they take you to court. Getty Images are taking the creators of Dall-E to court, an some tech company is taking MS to court for Copilot
No, law says that if its not supposed to be used for training data it has to be Mashine readable that its not supposed to be used for that. And for scientific purposes its basically irrelevant. You can take to court whoever you want, that doesn't change stuff.
Interesting. Do you have a link to the specifics of the law you are talking about?
What "law" says that? That's not how copyright works at all. If you don't have an explicit license to use content you don't own, you can't legally use it.

German law and that's where many of the data mining companys are located.
Is there an English translation available? That's a hell of a departure from international copyright agreements that I wasn't aware of if it's true.
Act on Copyright and Related Rights (Copyright Act) § 44b Text and Data Mining (1) Text and data mining is the automated analysis of single or multiple digital or digitized works in order to extract information from them, in particular about patterns, trends and correlations. (2) Reproductions of legally accessible works for text and data mining are permitted. The reproductions shall be deleted when they are no longer required for text and data mining. (3) Uses according to paragraph 2 sentence 1 are only permitted if the right holder has not reserved them. A reservation of use in the case of works accessible online shall only be effective if it is made in machine-readable form.
There is no official englisch Translation but DeepL does a good job to my knowledge. If you have further questions just ask, German law is very complicated and very depended on interpretation, its sometimes just barely understandable even for our lawyers...
And lots of proxies.
Yeah that as well.
At least seven proxies.
