I think if they admit to using books3 they will inevitably lose on the basis that they used pirated material. For their case to stand they have to prove that they legally purchased the material which i assume they did not. I do not have a law degree but as far as i know most countries outlaw downloading copyrighted material from unauthorized sources. Of course no one has the resources to go after random people but i think they will go after openai if they admit to using books3. It is one thing to argue that training on purchased material is fair use. But that is not what they did. I can see why open source projects do not have the money to purchase the books to do the training. But multi billion companies should definitely pay to own the books.
