The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

courthousenews.com - AI training of copyrighted material not fair use third circuit

The Third Circuit rejected an artificial intelligence company’s fair use defense after it trained its AI on a competitor’s product, finding the training constituted copyright infringement — and potentially setting a landmark precedent for artificial intelligence.

Thomson Reuters sued now-defunct AI startup ROSS Intelligence in 2020, claiming ROSS took headnotes — short descriptions of important legal issues that appear before judicial opinions — from its Westlaw database, using a third party called LegalEase Solutions to gain access after Westlaw refused ROSS access.

ROSS then used that data “not for the purposes of legal research, but to rush out a competing product” by training its artificial intelligence on Westlaw’s headnotes, Reuters said in its complaint.
