> Arbitrary Internet data that is not copied It's all but certainly copied, and not just in the "held in memory" sense but actually stored along with the rest of the training collection. What may not happen is distribution. There's a difference in scale/nature of copyright violation between the two but both could well be construed that way. Additionally, I think there's a reasonable argument that use as training data is a novel one that should be treated differently under the law. And if there's not: > If you want to do that, you have to limit end-user freedom with an EULA. What will eventually happen -- at least without some kind of worldwide convention -- is that someone who can successfully dodge licensing obligations will be able to take and redistribute weight-data and/or clean-room code. At least, if we're adopting a "because we can" approach to everything related.
