People reading and using code from SO by mouse and keyboard is not conceptually or mechanically different than using a computer to automatically do it.

@InkomTech @jlsigman @martin_piper @ben So you gonna be the one to sue every single corporation? Because they all use SO code. Because people are lazy. @atatassault @jlsigman @martin_piper @ben SMH. read what I wrote again. Peer forum use is a different use. While that would likely survive as released by acceptance of the TOS, new uses of copyright (AI training) likely wonβt. @atatassault @jlsigman @martin_piper @ben odds seem high that you donβt understand copyright. Good luck coming up to speed on it; my responses arenβt for you, but so anyone understanding copyright law can evaluate / discuss the risks in investing in this AI land grab and of SOβs move. Good luck. @InkomTech @atatassault @jlsigman @ben I understand it better than you obviously don't. You don't own your public posts on such a website, the company does. @InkomTech @atatassault @jlsigman @ben it's not a click through license when you have an account. It does does mean they own the technical content of the posts and can do what they like with it. @InkomTech @atatassault @jlsigman @ben your denial is not factually correct. @atatassault @jlsigman @martin_piper @ben let me amend: the strongest way a creative person can lose copyright: work for hire. I ainβt never gotten paid by SO. What I write remains mine. |
@atatassault @jlsigman @martin_piper @ben I could agree with you, but then weβd both be wrong. Again, a clickthru license isnβt remotely strong enough to strip someone of their ownership. Copyright is a motherfucker. Over and over, creatives have clawed back IP and forced a renegotiation due to new media, new venues, new uses.
