UK considers doing the right thing regarding AI and the right to read and learn and, of course, American mass media’s lobbyists object. US media groups warn UK over AI content-scraping rules
This article is a good example of why, while I understand the concerns and worries of creators when it comes to AI-scarping, I was always against the idea of using copyright laws as the main argument. Now we have the Copyright Aliance (which is made up from organizations such as Disney, Fox, Paramount, Universal Music and Getty etc.) championing anti-plagiarism for us:
The group urged the UK government to “continue its long-standing leadership role and stand with the United States as a champion of the creative community and the copyright laws on which it relies”.
This is not coming from the creators. This is coming from greedy CEOs who want to lock everything down, and AI scarping is just another “concern” they have.
