He spoke carelessly, but he didn't exactly say what the author said he said. You can in fact do many things with it. Copyright doesn't care what you do if you aren't copying. That's the definition of the word.
So I can pirate as many movies as I want as long as I'm only watching them?
Let these rich guys keep talking for a sec. I can get behind this somewhat.
Yes, it's streamer making a copy. You're fine. Sharing is caring. Copyright is a mental illness.
Well, I happen to have a great deal of respect for and routinely offer my support to those who suffer from mental illnesses, so maybe find a better way to say this that doesn't denigrate disabled people.
I'm sorry but that's what illness means. It is not an identity.
Isn't web scraping copying ?
No. It's only illegal if you republish what you scrape. Absolutely nothing prevents any company from scraping the web and using that information internally.
I think that depends how you write your web scraper. Of course the web scraper is going to load the page, just like your web browser does, which by all accounts is not an issue. What happens after the page is loaded depends on how the software is written.
Well see what the results of the music industry vs suno.ai will be
he gets paid a lot to not speak carelessly
