Google is trying to put an end to the copyright liability claim in its textbook piracy battle with several academic publishers. In a motion for partial judgment filed in a New York federal court, Google argues that the recent Supreme Court ruling in Cox v. Sony has effectively killed the copyright liability arguments. That is, unless the publishers can prove Google specifically “induced” infringement or built a service “tailored” exclusively for piracy.
This is fine with me. Copyright is stupid and textbook companies are ass. Even if you don’t like LLMs, copyright is still ass.
Copyright will still exist and you will not benefit from it. Corporations will benefit from this.
This won’t break copyright for plebians, just for corpos. Any “Rules for thee” bullshit is bullshit. I’m gonna get mad at it and it’s deserved.
Copyright is ass except to the extent that it can be used to enforce copyleft.
