A federal district court just ruled that training #AI tools on copyrighted texts is fair use. https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/20/anthropics-landmark-1-5b-copyright-settlement-is-approved/ #Anthropic is in the clear for training #Claude on millions of books without permission or payment. However, it's liable for obtaining many of those books illegally, and its settlement of those claims (about $3k/title) was approved by the court. So far this decision only applies in the Northern District of California. But it breaks the ice and will (as lawyers say) be "persuasive but not binding" in other districts. #Books #Copyright #FairUse #USLaw

@JorisMeys@mstdn.social @nsfwdaily@mastodon.social @pharmafemboy@estradiol.city @alice@lgbtqia.space You also don't quality for " #FairUse " as none of your content is a critique, newsworthy reporting in public interest nor transformative, but entirely done to usurp the original creators' works and be a substitute for licensed access to said content. But don't take my word for it: Ask any #Lawyer worth their license… I.e. @wbs_legal@mastodon.social (for Germany)… https://mastodon.social/@nsfwdaily/116954810221661906
