    Wow. A copyright lawsuit where Lemmy isn’t rooting for the establishment. Won’t anyone think of the poor, starving artists?!

          Can you point out an example of anyone here who roots for the establishment? It’s kind of contrary to the purpose of federation.

              How in the world is people wanting giant tech companies to stop violating every single technological oriface for every bit of data they can get their hands on to feed to their AIs dissapointing?

                Lol. Yeah, sure. Tech companies would be accused of circumventing robots.txt. It’s not like being able to monopolize information would benefit them or anything. It’s not like that’s not already happening.

                When you make harsher laws against trespassing, you’re not locking in the people in the big mansions.

                I’m just disappointed by the complete absence of any rational thought.

                  “They already do it, so we should just let them” and then getting mad at the people trying to stop them is kind of a psychotic take. Unchecked corporate power is how we got to this point and refusing to ever hold them accountable is not going to make it better. Genuinely, what NON MALICIOUS reason could there even be for a small company to need violate robots.txt, and how on earth would that give them any leg up over google?

                  And you come at ME with “abscence of any rational thought”. Truly vile.

                    I can tell that this subject is very emotionally challenging for you, though I don’t understand why. Should you be able to tell me, that would be appreciated.

                    I don’t think you want a rational answer to your question, so I won’t bother. Correct me if I’m wrong and I will deliver.
