What we did with SUCHO to preserve Ukrainian cultural heritage during a war wasn't exactly lawful web scraping depending on your jurisdiction and how you look at it.
We need to make better arguments for reigning in AI that aren't so big on unintended consequences for important digital work.

Which is deeply frustrating, and risky.
