Sarah Silverman is going to lose a suit. News at 11. Scraping is protected. This is settled law.

If you read the article, it called out that this is not protected by law. They are claiming open ai got access to her books and works through sites that had illegally obtained it.

This is not covered by previous rulings around scraping.
