Should OP be allowed to demand a license for redistribution from Orion Browser [0]? They make money selling a browser with a built-in ad blocker. Is that substantially different than what Perplexity is doing here?
I asked you this in the other subthread, but what exactly is the moral distinction (I'm not especially interested in the legal one here because our copyright law is horribly broken) between these two scenarios?
* User asks proprietary web browser to fetch content and render it a specific way, which it does
* User asks proprietary web service to fetch content and render it a specific way, which it does
The technical distinction is that there's a network involved in the second scenario. What is the moral distinction?
