Description
So I was reviewing DeviantArt’s ToS and this excerpt peeked my attention:
Excerpt
“[…]. Users acknowledge that by uploading Content to DeviantArt, third-parties may scrape or otherwise use their works without permission. DeviantArt provides no guarantees that third parties will not include certain Content in external data sources, or otherwise use a creator’s work for Artificial Intelligence Purposes, even when such directives are present. By prohibiting such conduct, DeviantArt makes no guarantees that it will pursue each unauthorized use of the Service, and the owners of the works are responsible for policing their own works to the extent permitted by law.”
This made me want to discuss about this practice and how should we address it, if at all.
Of course, I know this is not a very common thind to find on service’s policies, to my knowledge. However this type of data gathering is worth discussing, at the very least.
What are your thoughts?
