If I make a website that scrapes NYT and passes it back and forth through a machine translator, say, English -> Spanish -> English, then the content will be slightly modified. Is this legal to make money off of?
Seems like the legal answer is unclear but, like Napster, such a system seems like it would lose in court.
It would be unlikely to be something you'd find paying customers for, though? I suppose if you charged a small percentage of what NYT charges people might be willing to consider it, but you'd have some costs for hosting etc., so I am skeptical about its viability as a business model...
I'd serve fake news en-masse to low IQ people who click things to feel good about their own views. I'd also build a handful of websites (ideally as many as I can personally manage) to flood the Internet with fake news clickbait.
One site clones fox news. One clones news max. And so on, cloning many news sites, sports sites, any news site. Automated, massive scale content farming. Think of the websites recommended by Taboola but, realistically, a whole lot worse.
