seeing that Panda-70M research paper linked above makes this even crazier. the 'good faith' part of DMCA is basically never enforced in reality. platforms have used the 'shoot first, ask questions later' approach for so long that individual creators are just collateral damage. its about time someone actually challenged this in court. the power imbalance here is just wild tbh.
Hasn't it already been decided that training on copyright material is fair use?
