"Media companies, by offering “open web access,” inadvertently fostered the perception that online content is free. While readily available, this content was never truly free. It cost money to create, curate, and host – often subsidized by advertising. However, weak enforcement of copyright notices and terms of use – and the media’s own mistake by referring to their web content as “free” – created a gray area that AI companies are now exploiting."
