ADOBE'S HEADACHES

[DerVVulfman]

There's only one healthy conclusion to draw from these articles: they've already let AI process all of those works by now.
Let's be honest, they couldn't have gone too far developing AI stuff with just materials they had created themselves. Just as a not so long forgotten memory of my past once taught me, by the time people finally tells you they won't do something, they're already doing it.

That would be an incorrect legal assessment.

Yes, Adobe's recent TOS suggests it wants permission to all works, likely to permit scraping for AI scraping. But before these terms were present, Adobe had no such power and their clients/customers/users content is flatly and legally protected.

Were it discovered that Adobe had already begun the practice of AI data scraping of un-approved client content before these terms were in place, a severe class-action lawsuit for copyright violations would be filed. And if Adobe has begun this practice, they will have a lot of explaining to do.
