So the key questions here I think are: Can an ML model "create"? Can it "own copyright"? Can it "transform"? If it can't do those things then I think the entire idea falls apart. Separate from this, the violations are per instance, not the model itself. If I'm an author and write hundreds of non-infringing books over two decades and then suddenly write and sell a copy of an existing work, I'm not going to be sued for my other books or the reading I did to create any of it. I will be sued for the actual infringing book.
