Also, very interesting speculation that in the face of an adverse fair use ruling, Google would condition inclusion in Google Search on assent to AI training. Yikes. Huge antitrust problems.
Complex technical/legal questions about how you would structure the transaction—are lines in robots.txt enough to form a binding contract? And is Google going to degrade search so much that it will start to lose leverage before this moment arrives? But a provocative possibility.
