Guess pirating for personal use is on the table now, boys!
post
So Meta says pirating is not theft if it‘s for personal use, huh? Good to know.
replies:
Does this even make any difference outside of Switzerland (were pirating for personal use is actually legal)?
Like that justifies it...
Why the ai slop? It's not really needed for anything. You wasted a gallon of water for that?

Wow, I didn't realize Anal Butt Pirates had 2000+ volumes. I've fallen behind, no pun in ten did.
Strike 3 Holdings and Counterlife Media, which are known for popular adult brands including Vixen, Tushy, Blacked, and Deeper, filed a copyright infringement complaint at a California federal court. The companies allege that Meta downloaded at least 2,396 of their films since 2018, allegedly to aid their AI video training.
“[T]he small number of downloads—roughly 22 per year on average across dozens of Meta IP addresses—is plainly indicative of private personal use, not a concerted effort to collect the massive datasets Plaintiffs allege are necessary for effective AI training,” Meta writes

Isn't the excuse why they could torret these was for "training" and they weren't for personal use?
So saying it was for personal use, means someone used company infrastructure to violate copyright law, and now the company is liable?
Like how schools crack down on it because if it's on their network they say they could be liable?
We need an actual government again, right now the wealthy just randomly say shit and even if they do pay, it's an insignificant fine.
I think the big liability they're trying to avoid, is they used porn to train the AI how to make deep fake porn. And if that gets acknowledged, then people can say the AI was intended to do that. And they might be liable for all those lawsuits and maybe even criminal charges.
