It’s a red herring - There’s many ways to regulate scraping that don’t involve changing copyright.

Meta has been lobbying hard around that for years.




My point such laws that regulate the act of scraping itself cannot work because you can easily scrape in a different country where that law doesn’t apply, and then transfer the data in - or indeed train your NN in a different country and transfer the model.

Only copyright can see through all of that, you would have to gut fair use in order to have an effective anti-scraping law.
