Eight newspaper publishers are suing Microsoft and OpenAI over copyright. The speaker compares it to Google's model, which drives traffic back to the sites it scrapes, and notes how Google's YouTube acquisition changed its legal exposure.
8 newspaper publishers sue Microsoft and OpenAI over copyright. But I think this is going to go along for a very, very long time. I was reading on X, some of these guys were complaining, well, doesn't Google do the same thing and just scrape the web and put it on there as well? They do. Also, the big difference is, is Google in many cases, not all, it used to be almost all cases, is driving traffic back to the people that they're scraping content from. Yeah, so it's like a symbiotic relationship. Yes. YouTube would've been dead if Google didn't buy it, 'cause they took on the brunt of the lawsuits.
