I'm surprised it took this long for a lawsuite to emerge. Interestingly, I think this going through would actually help the big players (Google/MS/Apple) a lot in the medium term. They sit on huge amounts of training data from their own services and also have the money to acquire copyrighted material, while everyone else would have to build on datasets under a permissive license (like Wikipedia), since scraped data would be a minefield.
