Despite the RIAA's request for Discord to shut down the AI Hub server, the server continued to grow until it was eventually taken down, presumably due to repeated copyright allegations. A new server has since been set up, but it is likely that similar issues will arise in the future due to the difficulty of controlling the content posted by such a large number of members.
Key takeaways:
- The popular "AI Hub" Discord server, which had over half a million members, was shut down due to copyright infringement issues.
- The RIAA, representing American music companies, had previously taken action against the server for sharing copyright-infringing content, including datasets with copyrighted music.
- Despite the server's rules against posting copyrighted content, some members continued to do so, leading to its eventual shutdown.
- While it's unclear if the RIAA was directly involved in the server's shutdown, new servers are already emerging to take its place, potentially facing similar copyright issues in the future.
