> It is adjacent to scraping, but Aaron Schwartz is a good example. He faced decades in jail for what is effectively best practice for an LLM data pipeline.

None of what Swartz was charged with [1] is anywhere near best practices for an LLM data pipeline.

(Also, he wasn't facing decades in jail. That's from the DoJ press release which uses a completely stupid way of calculating potential sentences [2] that gives very high numbers so it always make it sound like they have caught some super villain).
