If anyone's willing to fund the legal battle, let me know. (You can DM me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theshawwn)

I'd be willing to issue a DMCA counterclaim for llama-dl on the grounds that model weights are not copyrightable. If it's worth settling the question in court, then this seems like a good opportunity.

If Meta has registered the work with the copyright office, the statutory damages in this case, should llama-dl lose, might be quite large.

Check in with an attorney before launching a battle with an opponent who has unlimited resources. There are likely to be many similar test cases in the coming year, perhaps more-readily fought.

It's not a clear issue of law so atty's fees aren't going to be shifted in a case like this.
