> you cannot claim damages to something that you give away for free Maybe you can't claim damages based on loss of income, but that's not the only kind of damages. For example, say I post an article and don't charge anything for reading it, and an LLM, based on its training data which includes my article, generates an article in my writing style. Sure, it hasn't cost me any money, but it might still affect my reputation if people think I wrote the article. Copyright is supposed to cover cases like that as well as cases where income is lost.
