Ancient Greek sophist Protagoras famously said, "There are two sides to every question." But OpenAI's latest attempt at reality distortion seems determined to narrow this dispute to just one.

A court has dismissed Google's case against SerpApi over that company's scraping of search results to train AI models.
The US District Court for the Northern District of California found that there was no indication that any copyright had been breached.
Google announced in December that it was suing SerpApI for its alleged web scraping, claiming that it was protecting copyright holders.

SerpApi claimed that the URLs and other links that were being served by Google did not in themselves entail copyright and the judge agreed. In h
