ignorance of copyright law won't save you here. i can't legally torrent a copywrited music file just because "no tos to agree to" when i listen to it.

  There is no copyright involved in training a model. No precedent at least. Only online ToS/API restrictions exist for scraping content. The DMCA issues exist entirely on the (re)distribution side of coyright material. So seeding in a torrent swarm = redistribution. If you download some copyright material somehow and don't share it with anyone, there is no caselaw that says anything about it.

    the NYT certainly seems to think there's a copyright issue - namely, their copyrighted work being directly used to create a potential competitor. > If you download some copyright material somehow and don't share it with anyone, there is no caselaw that says anything about it. this is still a violation of the law. you cannot download copyrighted material against the terms of the copyright holder (like downloading a movie or album).

    RIAA kept running into this problem which is why it only sent the lawyers after people they could confirm seeded.
