> Based on the new scraping ruling with LinkedIn [0], anything that is "open gate" (as in, accessible without logging in) can be scraped and (I assume) be used by neural networks.
The ruling you are linking to is about whether scraping violates the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
This isn't really applicable here. First of all, that's a separate issue from copyright. Just because scraping publicly accessible data doesn't violate the CFAA doesn't mean that suddenly all images posted on the internet are public domain or that can use copyrighted images from websites for whatever you want, for example.
Furthermore, how copyright applies to training neural networks on copyrighted works is an open question right now.
