>Now, Anna’s Archive has been handed a default judgement to pay the hefty $322million fine, as they have failed to “answer or otherwise defend against the claims in the Complaint.“
>However, it’s unclear whether they will see the money, as Anna’s Archive’s operators are anonymous.
So they’re not getting anything. They got a default judgement against an unknown party.
>The judge has additionally ruled that internet service providers should disable access to Anna’s Archives, and prevent other websites from hosting or distributing the scraped files.
Cool overreach attempt here. The ISPs aren’t party to this case.
They are paying exactly 0
There will be no domains left for them 🙁
So all the LLMs that scraped every website in existence now have precedent to be sued into the ground? All ISP should block all LLMs?
Now is the perfect time to release all the audio files.
Cool advertising. Never knew they existed.
I really wish they’d stayed in information, this was a needless watering down of a moral high ground they once occupied – “information should be free” is a lot more defensible than “lol no ip for anything”
A good percentage of the music I listen to isn’t available on spotify. Where do they get off saying ‚almost all the world’s commercial sound recordings‘?
Just a simple question… does Anna’s Archive have 322 million dollars?
„to pay“
of course no
If anyone still thinks laws are here to be abided by all and that law is above everyone, this is a great example it isn’t.
Law doesn’t apply to rich, just to average Joe. Same goes for companies; they are allowed to pirate the content as much as they want, but when average Joe does it then he should be imprisoned for life.
Buuuuuuuut…… It was cool for Open AI to scrape THE ENTIRE INTERNET, train it’s models, rip off every IP known to man, generate infringing slop, AND chearge you for it?
„Oh, yeah, THAT thing…… Yeah, that’s no problem“
Is there any way we can still download the archive of these songs?
Yes, they were charged.
No, they will not pay.
Wtf is Anna’s Archive??
And erase those recordings right? Or data? Right? Otherwise $322 million is a fucking bargain
Are they still planning to release the top 10’000 songs?
I play a lot of games.Traditionally I’d goto a website to look up a guide or search help for something or other, now I mostly use the google AI to find what I need.
Lately I’ve been wondering how this would impact the website’s I used to use and the AI scrapes the data from. Is not very bad for them that I’m not visiting/viewing ads? If enough people just use AI to find what they need can it potentially cause an extinction of websites we use if they lose traffic from normal people? Curious
Bless all the pirates around the world
