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.

(Half joking but) I wonder if musicians need to worry if they learned to play by listening to cassette mixtapes.
