Good luck convincing the current DOJ to do anything useful at all though! It is currently intentionally stacked with incompetent cronies who have been told that their job is to attack the President's enemies and ignore the misdeeds of his allies.
It will remain like that until he's gone (and not replaced with another Republican wannabe dictator).
It will remain this way in slightly differnt shades of colors until there is a systemic change. IM sorry this isn't a one party problem. There are people across the isle that are allowing this to continue.
Im not in support of any party btw. Im only in support of humanity doing humane things.
The grandparent comment said "liable". That's civil court, not criminal, and doesn't need the DOJ to be involved. HuggingFace and/or RubyGems could sue OpenAI.
States also have their own laws against unauthorized computer use (hacking). A state Attorney General could bring a suit under those laws, regardless of who is in the white house.
I'm 99% sure the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act covers this. The problem is that it seems that none of the victims want to, or are brave enough, to sue a company with absurd amounts of funding.
It shouldn't actually take that much bravery. If your case isn't completely frivolous, isn't your maximum loss limited to the court filing fees and a lawyer payment that you know in advance and can decide when to stop paying? It's not the same as getting sued.
Yes, but this only really happens if your lawsuit is bad faith or frivolous. If they have a valid reason for the suit but just lose, this won't happen.
We already have it.

HF falls under French jurisdiction, right? Couldn’t a case be made over there?
Makes you wonder why exactly Nvidia bought them, right ?

If it's covered by criminal law they don't need to sue. They can call the FBI.
Same FBI that prosecuted the Epstein crime ring so aggressively!
They're gonna get to the Epstein stuff right after they get the guy that called Kash Patel names.

Can't you be ordered to pay the legal fees of the person you sued if you lose badly enough?
Yes, but this only really happens if your lawsuit is bad faith or frivolous. If they have a valid reason for the suit but just lose, this won't happen.
I mean it's surprising to think you're 99% sure while being wildly off base. Everything in there require intent.
Uh huh.
It can’t be a coincidence that all the targets have been tech services that are likely to engage with them after the fact.
Had this gone after a bank or a government agency someone would be going to jail.
Exactly. Just follow the patterns. Its pretty obvious.
Or the victims have no incentive to do so, such as in the Hugging Face case.
I'm pretty sure it's already illegal to hack others.
Agent technology labs are likely exempted of this due to the significance ascribed to their work.
