They shouldn't feel comfortable given Chhabria's essentially opposite ruling. But hell, if they wanna dig their own graves even more blatantly and faster... bsky.app/profile/kint...
And...yes. Another big AI decision. When a win is maybe not a win. The AI training is fair use cult may be very disappointed by Meta's Summary Judgment "victory" in its copyright suit. Be very very careful not to be spun by Meta's proxies and advocates.

They’re doing super well actually. This is sort irrelevant chatter.

Are you talking about DOJ? I strongly disagree. They were disciplined in bringing the lawsuit, entirely up on the business and issues and are doing super well.

As we push open the doors, a sea of cameras point our way. But they’re not for them. Certainly not for me.
Ironically, the remedies in this landmark case after multiple federal courts say Google rigged distribution and funding of the world’s media - barely make the news. 2/3

Bottom-line imho, it’s a very smart complaint bringing together DC circuit findings of fact tied now to G AI services where this is real-time harm underway. Susan Godfrey is the law firm! and notably they also have NYT v OpenAI. cc @dcnorg.bsky.social /15

In other words, no content = no traffic. /14
