But… but… the invisible hand of the market! Unrestrained competition! Capitalism driving innovation! Oh wait, was all of that bullshit and while you’re lobbying congress to cut public funding for shit like school lunches the minute you face the tiniest hardship from a competitor you turn around and ask for a handout? Suck it up, buttercup. Guess socialism wins again huh?
Nah this is bullshit, and I’m shocked to see it coming from the EFF. If you can’t build your ML model without stealing other peoples’ work to do it, don’t fucking do it. The purpose of IP law is to ensure that people who create are compensated for their work, and I never thought in a million years I’d see the EFF arguing against the protection of people over business.
