    I think the idea is that all parties would find it beneficial so they would be incentivized to read it:

    Leeds told Ars that the RSL standard doesn’t just benefit publishers, though. It also solves a problem for AI companies, which have complained in litigation over AI scraping that there is no effective way to license content across the web.

      I imagine that when it comes to scraping data, the benefits of having the data far out away the risk of getting sued for scraping it.
