    This will be interesting to watch play out! I cannot describe how funny it is that the chairman of the board of StabilityAI is one of the Napster guys. Dude's been downloading cars for decades!

    It seems that the case will resolve this month, so at least it is a lot faster than waiting for the NYT case or Copilot cases to resolve. Technologist, however, are already thinking that europeans are shooting themselves in the foot with AI regulations though.

      There’s an earlier judgment from January which I think was mostly legal technicalities: https://www.judiciary.uk/judgments/getty-images-and-others-v-stability-ai/

      I’m not sure how much more, if anything, will be directly published until a subsequent judgement is issued, though. My understanding is that a decent amount of journalism in these kind of cases involves sitting in the back of the court making notes because the interim bits and pieces won’t immediately be available otherwise.
