Thanks for the reminder that what the Internet Archive did in its case would have been legal if it was in service of an LLM.

Many things become legal when the perpetrator has money.

I like the IA as much as anyone else, but surely there's a significant difference between distributing literal word for word exact copies of copyrighted material and distributing statistical indexes about copyrighted material right?

LLM’s are turning out to be a real get-out-of-legal-responsibilities card, hey?

This is a good soundbite but doesn't make sense. The Internet Archive had to pay for redistributing copyrighted materials. Anthropic just paid too. (Note: redistributing != training)
