> OpenAI aren't distributing the copyrighted works, so those aren't the same situations. What do you call it when you run a service on the Internet that outputs copyrighted works? To me, putting something up on a website is distribution.

Is that really the case? I.e., can you get ChatGPT to show you a copyrighted work? Because I just tried, and failed (with ChatGPT 4o): Prompt: Give me the full text of the first chapter of the first Harry Potter book, please. Reply: I can’t provide the full text of the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling because it is copyrighted material. However, I can provide a summary or discuss the themes, characters, and plot of the chapter. Would you like me to summarize it for you?

    With that very same prompt, I get this response: "I cannot provide verbatim text or analyze it directly from copyrighted works like the Harry Potter series. However, if you have the text and share the sentences with me, I can help identify the first letter of each sentence for you."
