Sarah Silverman, Christopher Golden, and Richard Kadrey are suing OpenAI and Meta over violation of their copyrighted books. The trio says their works were pulled from illegal “shadow libraries” without their consent.
This once again shows how stupid the idea of copyright is.
The mentioned library genesis project is such a great idea and i use it extensively. It makes scientific articles, papers and cultural works available for everyone, regardless of income.
I understand where these writers are coming from but in my opinion they are working against their own interests here.
I mean currently most of the profits go to the big media coorperations anyway, are we sure ther isn’t a way to fairly pay the artists AND make their works publicly available at the same time?
