No, but their products regurgitate copyrighted material so I guess they either come clean about the data they used or we have to assume they stole it.

- jameshart 3y agoI can quote the entire script of Monty Python and the Holy Grail - would you assume I stole it?
- notahacker 3y agoNo, but then as you're (presumably) a person rather than an information retrieval system you would be legally responsible for ensuring you had performance rights and paid royalties if you were quoting that script as part of a commercial service. That responsibility rests with you, not whoever gave you access to the film Conversely, photocopiers and text-to-speech engines and LLMs don't exercise choice over whether they reproduce copyrighted material and so can't be held responsible, so responsibility for clearing rights to redistribute/transform in that format clearly lies with the people inputting the copyrighted material. Obviously, OpenAI has tended to avoid making any attempts to secure those rights whatsoever
- jameshart 3y agoMost libraries have photocopiers for their patrons to use. It’s their patrons’ responsibility to determine if any copying they do is permissible under fair or personal use rules. The library doesn’t know what you’re planning on doing with the information they shared with you.
- notahacker 3y agoFew libraries use the scanner themselves to make a digital copy of every single book to import into their proprietary information retrieval service. The ones that do secure permission where the works involved are subject to copyright.
