This is sad for open source AI, piracy for the purpose of model training should also be fair use because otherwise only the big companies who can afford to pay off publishers like Anthropic will be able to do so. There is no way to buy billions of books just for model training, it simply can't happen.

This implies training models is some sort of right.

No, it implies that having the power to train AI models exclusively consolidated into a handful of extremely powerful companies is bad.

Isn’t that already the case, with the capacity required to train these models?
