Funny how people are suddenly on Elsevier's side. It's clear to me that AI training is transformative fair use under existing law. Maybe this will be the case to prove it.

Can someone explain why are we reading this instead of "Meta was fined for copyright infrigement" news?

In 2024, voters signaled that they don't care about corruption when they reelected the most corrupt administration in American history. Since then, there has been a widespread understanding that the rich will not face consequences in this country. For example, take a look at the Trump administration's suppression of the Epstein files. Or the Trump families cryptocurrency schemes. Or the ridiculous ballroom.

Anyway, the point is - there will be no justice until the citizens of the united states demand it.

Does it matter? The company's liability would (i assume) not change if the ceo authorized it or some other high level figure authorized it.

The question to answer is, did it happen and if so is this copyright infringement (not covered by fair use), not which company official authorized it.
