Anthropic argues that since they paid for the book they use in training, the can now distill as many copies of the book from their AI.

Nevermind what the author wants - anthropic doesn't need a permission to do so, and the author cannot opt-out their books from training. But somehow that is fair use now.

Now some chinese have bought access to anthropics AI, and anthropic is arguing that the Chinese shouldn't be allowed to distill from them, the same way they trained from others without consent..
