Anthropic copyright ruling sparks debate over book destruction and superintelligent lawyers
AndyMasley · x · 2026-07-29
A repost about a court ruling says Anthropic's model training was not copyright infringement if the text was "transferred" rather than copied, but the legal remedy still required destroying the books.
It also quotes a thought experiment: one person with a superintelligent lawyer would create an unfair system, but if everyone had access, justice could become more fair and efficient. The image points to a scanner that can digitize fragile books without destroying them.
