Re: Nvidia contacted Anna's Archive to access books
#2NVIDIA executives allegedly authorized the use of millions of pirated books from Anna's Archive to fuel its AI training. In an expanded class-action lawsuit that cites internal NVIDIA documents, several book authors claim that the trillion-dollar company directly reached out to Anna's Archive, seeking high-speed access to the shadow library data.

Does this even make sense? Are the copyright laws so bad that a statement like this would actually be in NVIDIA’s favor?

#4It's generous of them to ask for permission.

Books are databases, chars their elements. We have copyright for databases in EU :)

#6I'm not saying it will change anything but going after Anna's archive while most of the big AI players intensely used it is quite something

Who cares? Only Disney had the money to fight them.
Everything else will be slurped up for and with AI and be reused.

The chicken is trying to become the egg.

#9I'm wondering what Amazon is planning to do with their access to all those Kindle books.

They wanted access to a faster pipe to slurp 500 terabytes, and that access comes at a cost. It wasn’t about permission.
And yeah they should be sued into the next century for copyright infringement. $4Trillion company illegally downloading the entire corpus of published literature for reuse is clearly infringement, its an absurdity to say that it’s fair use just to look for statistical correlations when training LLMs that will be used to render human authors worthless. One or two books is fair use. Every single book published is not.
