Are you looking forward to tens of ... dollars from that recent suit?


Some of my publishers are, as they're American. I'm unlikely to see any of that.

Unfortunately, I'm Australian, and my government saw fit to narrow their interpretation of current laws, to make AI scraping of illegally obtained data, legal.

You now have to prove direct harm - not the indirect harm happening to the entire industry.


Is non-AI-related scraping now legal too?


Only if the original data scraper gets permission. [0]
