They are not paying billions anymore. They just switched to buying and then destroying books. Arguably that's worse than training off of Anna's archive which Chinese companies still do. This comment is another example of American exceptionalism.
It’s economically lucrative for everyone in that chain to attack again and again ai vendors , unless they are in China . In this case they can only cry .
You break you pay .If you prefer Chinese way : laugh at anyone who is taking about copyright , whether that a book , a model , or manufacturing secrets in eu , us or whatever sure .
A family business of my friend in eu was destroyed due to stealing until every single bolt position design of their system by China . They had no legal protection .
Keep calling rule of law vs no such rules an American exceptionalism .
