Popular "AI Hub" Discord Taken Down Following Copyright Complaints * TorrentFreak
Oct 06, 2023 · torrentfreak.com
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.
