    Annas archive should just say they were using the data to train their new AI model. Then nobody would bat an eye.

      It took me a second to realize this was a joke. There are people who seriously believe Anna’s Archive is funded/supported by big tech to concentrate copyrighted material to be used for AI training.

          because Facebook trained an LLM on Libgen data. I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point some big tech considered to at least fund some of these projects through side-channels, because nowadays open source and liberation of information means free lunches for American big tech, but that’s very different from Anna’s archive being a psyop to externalize content theft.

    Many are worried that the archives liberated by Anna’s will be used to train generative models

    I hope so, unlike text and image gen, there are not really good publicly available music models, only proprietary services now owned by large music industry rightsholders due to lawsuits afaik. Like the article mentions, unethical corporations such as Spotify itself are already on it regardless.
