Neowin Giveaway: HP Data Vault X510 2TB


Recommended Posts

PLease see the first post, the rules have been updated

And the idea that people might just enter as often as they wish, like your original rule stated never entered your minds that someone just might?

I think everyone that entered in each time up till now should count as an entry. You can't go changing rules in the middle of the game!

Of course you can, their competition and no - Just because some no-lifers went crazy, shouldn't give them an advantage. A fair shot for everyone is how it should be,

massive kudos to bdsams for seeing reason (Y)

Haha poor Maz all that time wasted.

Haha it's fine by me actually. I thought it was ridiculous as well (something like 10 entries a day or useful conversation only in the giveaway description would have worked), but didn't want to have a terrible disadvantage to anyone else who tried entering 100+ times xD

I'll play the game however anybody else plays it as long as it's by the rules :)

Good attitude :)

i guess when a subscriber cries, neowin listens.

you had all the time in the world to establish the ground rules and you renege on them half way through the contest. Why?, because people were actually following your rules !!

I was working from home, randomly refreshing the page and adding an entry as I saw an opening. Now you consider it spam...but for anyone who entered twice, their second entry wasn't considered spam. I bet no one cried over the guy who only entered in twice.

200 posts is bloody spam, 2 posts is not whatever way you look at it, you are just crying because you wasted all that time.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com AI companies often rely on readily available internet content to train their chatbots and provide users with instant answers. This method of AI training is fast and relatively inexpensive, but using a website’s content without permission or compensation is not something publishers like to see, and this is exactly why Microsoft and OpenAI are now being sued. As reported by Bloomberg, a group of publishers that collectively own nearly 400 newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The coalition argues that the two companies scraped their content to build AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot without paying any compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that while AI products have generated billions of dollars in market value using publishers’ work, none of that value has been shared with the publishers. The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Defendants systematically and secretly crawled the Publishers’ websites—including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions—and copied the Publishers’ articles, stories, and other original works onto their own servers without authorization,” the complaint states. The publishers also described the AI boom as a “death knell for local journalism” if AI companies that scrape content for free are not held accountable. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his law firm, Platkin LLP, are representing the publishers. “Our models empower innovation, are trained on publicly available data, and are grounded in fair use,” OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri told Bloomberg. This is not the first lawsuit involving the unauthorized use of publishers’ content by AI firms, but it is one of the largest coalitions ever formed against the free use of content by AI chatbots. In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft also faced a similar lawsuit from eight newspapers that claimed AI products were benefiting from their content without permission.
