It always amazes me when corporations just break the rules on such a scale, they get a pass or in this case (and others) have the red carpet rolled out. If a human being were to illegally download an ebook (for their own reading pleasure), they can get an invitation to federal prison. When a corporation downloads all the ebooks and uses that information to train an LLM (for their financial benefit), they get an invitation to the White House or Congress. I wonder if the authors would have more quarrel with the former or the latter?
