    Remember when a certain company just paid a large fine for pirating information to train AI?

    So step 1 should be to remove Internet access to Meta, if you aren’t going to do that, then it is 100% corrupt.

    I hope the SCOTUS justices aren’t using 3-strikes-you’re-out ISPs! All it would take is three random DMCA takedown notices and they’d lose Internet.

      Sony wanted mo money. Yo money wasn’t enough for them. So they got a jury to agree that Cox owes them 1 Billion dollars.

      Because those laws aren’t doing enough to scare people into obeying. This is the next step in trying to terrorize people into submission.

    accused of repeat copyright infringements

    Does this court determine whether this concrete accusation against a person holds as well, or does this court determine whether an accusation is enough?
