And the guys I spoke with who had been approached were very taken aback by this request because even though they're contractors, the work they had done was for major studios.
They said they sign NDAs that are like the thickness of a book and everything's under NDA.
It's all protected IP.
So they were very taken aback by Mercor offering to purchase this data and work product because they were like, dude, we definitely don't own this stuff.
So Mercore said that they do not buy intellectual property and that they license content directly from individuals and only when they own it.
They also said that they do not ask for nor do they want material owned by a current or past employer.
So they're saying we only want stuff that people actually have the rights to license us.
They suffered a large data breach recently, which, to be fair, many, many, many startups suffered a breach around the same time.
Within the claims of the suits were a lot of really interesting allegations about the ways in which the company allegedly acquires the data that it uses to serve its customers.
So for one thing, this is sort of interesting, is that the contractors, their computers, while they're doing their work, Mercor has software that takes screenshots of data.
their work.
And so among the allegations were that those screenshots were shared with the clients and sort of part of the data that they were handing over to the clients.
That's what the allegations are in the suit.
And, you know, Mercore makes the point that like we tell people that you are only to be working on your Mercore related projects when you're billing for time.
So like if you have two monitors, you should only have your Mercore related work up on time.
either screen at any time.
Mercor said they strongly dispute the speculative claims in these lawsuits and they look forward to presenting the facts at the appropriate time and place.
And they also added that they take the privacy of their customers, contractors, employees, and those they interview seriously and comply with relevant laws and regulations.
Yeah, so that was their response to some of the reporting and the allegations included in these claims.
The company, they raised quite a bit of money.
