He distinguishes three issues: A) Use any written material they get their hands on to train the model (and the resulting model doesn’t just reproduce the works). B) Buy a single copy of a print book, scan it, and retain the digital copy for a company library (for all sorts of future purposes). C) Pirate a book and retain that copy for a company library (for all sorts of future purposes). A and B were fair use by summary judgement. Meaning this judge thinks it’s clear cut in anthropics favor. C will go to trial.
