#AaronSwartz killed himself because he scraped research data and they aggressively prosecuted him.

Now #AI companies say they should scrape our data for free.

@benroyce wonder what would happen if their data was scraped?

@alex0233

tech companies aggressive defend against scraping their data, with technical methods and lawyers, while they claim free access to ours

if you're looking for a sense of hypocrisy, know that they have no sense of right and wrong. $$$ for exploitation is their game, and that is all there is to them

They think they are the in-group, who the law protects but does not bind.

And who says you are not, if you act like it and get away with it?

@benroyce @blogdiva He was harassed and aggressively prosecuted for doing something that was probably legal, meanwhile, we know what AI scrapers are doing is illegal, and we just let it happen because they have the money.

Ask a lawyer what the remedy is, and for whom, and whether a successful civil case is possible.

@benroyce wow I only remember learning some things about this guy, mostly about Reddit I think. I didn't know that he contributed to markdown and rss.
