There's a huge jump between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and every other major player distilling the internet into LLMs and deliberately breaking a mutually signed contract between them and another business.

As for ZDR and court-orders, what would you rather happen there? Violate the law or comply with holding the data? I would bet that any ZDR agreement has this court-ordered risk mutually understood and agreed upon.

I see no huge jump at all. If the companies don't care about copyright law, why do you think about they care about contract law?

An LLM provider that only hosts inference and doesn't train models is at much lower risk of getting put under a court order to retain data for copyright infringement cases.
