    In reality, what you’re saying makes no sense.

    Making something available on the internet means giving permission to download it. Exceptions may be if it happens accidentally or if the uploader does not have the necessary permissions. If users had to make sure that everything was correct, they’d basically have to get a written permission via the post before visiting any page.

    Fair use is a defense against copyright infringement under US law. Using the web is rarely fair use because there is no copyright infringement. When training data is regurgitated, that is mostly fair use. If the data is public domain/out of copyright, then it is not.

      Literally and explicitly untrue.

        Sure, you can put something up and explicitly deny permission to visit the link. But courts rarely back up that kind of silliness.

        Oh. I see. The attempts to extract training data from ChatGPT may be criminal under the CFAA. Not a happy thought.

        I did say “making available” to exclude “hacking”.

          The point I’m illustrating is that plenty of things reasonable people would assume are fine the law can call hacking.

      No permission is given to download it. In particular, no permission is given to copy it.

      Fair use is a defense against copyright infringement under US law

      Yes, but it’s often unclear what constitutes fair use.

      Using the web is rarely fair use because there is no copyright infringement

      What are you even talking about.

      When training data is regurgitated, that is mostly fair use

      You have no idea what fair use is, just admit it.
