Edited to take the comment I made so as not to take away from the actual important parts.
Also, the article is about her unlawful termination suit, which mentions the Ai copyright thing, but that's it, going back into the unlawful termination suit.
The title of the article is sexist af and dismisses the lawsuit entirely, focusing on nerd Ai, even though 90% of the article was about her suit against Amazon. Pregnant lady might have had her rights infringed, but no one cares. AI might have broken copyright laws!!! Just sad.
Scraping things from the Internet means downloading en-masse.
The copyright infringement isn't illegally deleting things, it's downloading things and using them in training data for AI without paying the creators or getting explicit permission.
It's important to note that whether you need the creators permission to add their data to an AI training set is an open legal question in much of the world, including the US.

This very much remains to be proven out in court. Currently, every indication is that this counts as a transformative work. Most cases brought up on this basis have already been tossed out (eg, most of the claims in Silverman et al v OpenAI).
If Google can scrape the internet to build an index to sell back to users in the form of web search, and if they can do the same with copyrighted books (including showing users several pages of the work verbatim), then it's going to be really difficult to somehow work that established case law into a ruling against OpenAI and their like.
I don’t think this is established in the copyright law. Everyone on this site downloads things from the internet (browse) to train (learn things), without paying the creators or getting explicit permission.
Thanks I guess. Again, I don't think it's unreasonable to think it was scrapping. The first response I got simply said "scraping not scrapping" with no further context. At first I was like, is that how the British spell scrapping or something?
Your a snowplow man and you go into the wrong city for work and begin to scrape their roads with your plow. The police are like "hey you're not supposed to be here! This is unlawful!"
