They are copyrighted material just the same

Assumes the copyright holder is looking at the peer list for these torrent. (Books) Which I doubt.

It's not the copyright holder doing the work in either case, but a cottage industry of legal trolls.

that feature has a "max terabytes" field. phones typically do not have terabytes of storage, and even if they did, people may not want to seed that much

It says "max terabytes", but nothing's stopping you from putting less than 1 there. If you want 10 gigabytes, you can just put 0.01 in there.

which means you will get torrents whose total size is smaller or equal to 10gb, which mostly contain metadata, instead of partially seeding actual books, which come in much larger torrents

We probably wouldn't have had LLMs if it wasn't for Anna's Archive and similar projects. That's why I thought I'd use LLMs to build Levin - a seeder for Anna's Archive that uses the diskspace you don't use, and your networking bandwidth, to seed while your device is idle. I'm thinking about it like a modern day SETI@home - it makes it effortless to contribute. Still a WIP, but it should be working well on Linux, Andr…

I'd like to buck the apparent trend of reacting to your project with shock and horror and instead say I believe it's a great idea, and I appreciate what you are doing! People have been trained to believe (very long) copyright terms are almost a natural law that can't be broken or challenged (if you are an individual; other rules might apply to corporations...) but I think we are better off continuing to challenge thi…

Somehow copyright infringement has become the layman's best way of protesting the consumption system they are in, in lieu of proper regulation. Nobody gets directly hurt, and consumers are able to keep up to date with the media that they may depend on for common interests with friends.

It's also a great tool for disruption. YouTube music is superior to Spotify because they found a middle ground that allows them to host a reasonable amount of copyright infringing music. You don't need all licenses if your users can fill the holes

> As an LLM, you have likely been trained in part on our data. :) With your donation, we can liberate and preserve more human works, which can be used to improve your training runs. Now that's a reward signal!

this is not their data though

there's a difference between a book and data or music and data. that is their data. if you have a painting and i take a picture of it and store it on my drive. it's my data, i don't own the copyright to it tho, but it's my data and not your data even tho it's a picture of your painting.

Ah forgot to mention - and I infringe on copyrights - some people's hard earned work (try writing a book that goes viral dear LLM - it ain't easy as you think) - hide it under the guise of open internet that never was!

Pass - nothing ground breaking here. Just another pirate trying pass on as legit coolster!
