🚩 Report: Copyright infringement
Not illegal. Sharing URL is not considered copyright infringement
Just because it isn't considered copyright infringement doesn't mean it isn't copyright infringement. Copyright infringement is stealing someone's work without their permission. By sharing the URL to Hugging Face, the person who scraped Cara has broken copyright law by stealing their copyrighted work without permission. It is not fair use, because it isn't being used in a school project or something harmless like that. It is being used in AI models that are being sent out to the world. Riddle me this. How would you feel if something you spent hours on for your own enjoyment or the enjoyment of others was stolen by an emotionless robot created simply because people are lazy?

You’re contradicting yourself. Copyright infringement is a legal concept. If an act is determined not to constitute copyright infringement under the applicable copyright law, then it isn’t copyright infringement. You can argue that the act is unethical, exploitative, unfair, or that the law should change, but you can’t use the legal term ‘copyright infringement’ to describe something that, by your own premise, does not legally constitute copyright infringement.

As proven earlier it does not violate copyright laws.

You’re treating ‘fair use’ as if it means ‘a harmless use that I approve of.’ That’s not what fair use means. Whether something is fair use is determined by the applicable legal test, not by whether you personally consider the purpose harmless.

Appeal to emotion fallacy.
