FTA:
So part of their argument is actually that they stole so much that it would be impossible for them/anyone to pay restitution, therefore we should just let them off the hook.
Ah the old “owe $100 and the bank owns you; owe $100,000,000 and you own the bank” defense.
I also like this one too. We stole so much content that you can't sue us. Naming too many pieces means it can't be a class action lawsuit.
Ahh cant wait for hedgefunds and the such to use this defense next.
Hold my beer.
The problem isnt anthropic get to use that defense, its that others dont. The fact the the world is in a place where people can be fined 5+ years of a western European average salary for making a copy of one (1) book that does not materially effect the copyright holder in any way is insane and it is good to point that out no matter who does it.
