AI training
replyAI training might be copyright infringement. But there’s no cases or laws to establish that.
replyI don’t think this case or anything else has been affected by AI training on copyrighted material, if it is deemed infringing.
It's been demonstrated that some companies, even F10 ones, have been using pirated content to train their AI.
replyYes, but not demonstrated that that training is illegal.

replyThey all seem to be using pirated books. Probably slightly better than just web stuff as it is presumably edited.
The authors case was thrown out on narrow reasoning. But companies now live by different rules so I suspect they won’t be held to account. Even Disney/nintendo are unlikely to stop this…

What?
replyAnthropic ($1.5B+ Settlement): In September 2025, Anthropic agreed to pay at least $1.5 billion to settle a class-action lawsuit over using roughly 500,000 copyrighted books from "shadow libraries" to train their Claude LLMs.
