 @AlisonCreekside Seems a little premature. Considering the law hasn't actually spoken on this yet (OpenAI is not, in fact the law).. and I'm also not convinced any teenagers were successfully sued for 'millions of dollars' because they 'torrented a single Metallica album'. Seems to me like deliberate misinformation mostly. 2 comments
@AlisonCreekside The posters used the words, 'the law only ever serves capital', a gross exaggeration, that also isn't proven here, as that has nothing to do with what billionaires -demand-. The $1.92 million you speak of in Minneapolis was reduced to $220K on appear. It also wasn't a teenager. Adding up all verdicts seems misleading at best. So again, gross exaggeration bordering plain misinformation. |

@Schouten_B Really?
1)The poster said billionaires are "demanding" it, not that it is law.
2)Between 2003 and 2008, RIAA sued over 30,000 kids for an average of between $3K and $11K each, which comes to between $90M and $330M.
In 2009 a Borton U student had to pay $675K for downloading 30 songs. A federal jury in Minneapolis ruled that a plaintiff must pay $1.92 million, or $80,000 on each of 24 songs.
