A sum that would bankrupt these companies and set an important precedent.
Yesterday, there was news of publishers doing the same. Let’s see what other industries follow.

Where is my $150k for each comment I have made that was fed into AI model training?
Sorry, best we can do is higher energy costs.
If you can add some millions of gallons of water wasted than we have a deal!
Also going to need you to throw in your job.
Should have made yourself a corporation before commenting. I bet that would have worked.
And we all laughed at the boomers posting on Facebook MY LAWYER ADVISED ME TO POST… IF YOU DON’T POST THIS NOTICE YOU AREN’T PROTECTED… I DO NOT CONSENT TO FACEBOOK USING MY PRIVATE POSTS IN ANY WAY
Sure thing
Just prove you’re human first by uploading your ID
£150k for my name, £150k for my address and £150k for my date of birth.
Those comments are owned by the platform you posted it to, probably hidden away in a TOS clause.
You however are liable for any of said comments that are owned by the platform.
Privatize the profits and socialize the liabilities! 'MURICA!
edit: why yes, I understand there are exceptions. You probably still own the copyright, but have given them a transferable royalty free license to reproduce your content for use cases that are legally broad but worded to not appear so to the layman. Sure, it’s yours, but they can effectively do whatever they want with it. You’ve lost control the moment you click the button to publish it.
Course if you think you retain whole control of something posted on facebook, instagram, tiktok, reddit, or a myriad of other sites with billions of accounts… let me know how your lawsuit went. Maybe you have a kind of exception due to GDPR, california law or similar but those protections only extend to a small portion of humans today unfortunately.
I believe this isnt the case on most threadiverse instances.
This assumes that everything anyone ever wrote… anywhere on the internet… originated after this existed.
Five years ago practically no one used this. Anybody posting online almost certainly did not start here or only ever exclusively posted here.
So obviously, yes, this site doesn’t count, probably.
If it’s a complex enough comment, they would the copyright, no matter where they posted it…
These clauses have been successfully challenged a number of times, especially when the entire idea is tucked away intentionally to hide the fact from the user…
And what about websites I have made myself then? They are probably scraping lemmy too, I hope the instance owner is getting $150k for each of my comments!
Nope. The copyright is held by the creator. If they did hold copyright they wouldn’t get section 230 protection.
Exactly. Fuck them for outright stealing with no repercussions. If that isnt stealing, neither is anything else 😁
