Which, by the way, this is completely untested in courts. Courts have decided, after a bunch of case-by-case decisions, that sampling a song consitutes creating a derivitive work, and you must obtain a license from a copyright holder to do so. It is my opinion that training a model copies and creates derivitive work on what you used to train it, so you must have a license to train LLMs on content. I am not a lawyer, I am no one, my opinion here is worthless. We already know that you can create a copy of something without doing a bit-for-bit duplicate because a) copyright law existed before we had bits, and b) transcoding a movie still counts as creating a copy. Recording my own VHS of HBO and selling it is still illegal.
