That can easily be written off as fair use.
No, it really couldn't. In fact, it's very persuasive evidence that Llama is straight up violating copyright.
It would be one thing to be able to "predict" a paragraph or two. It's another thing entirely to be able to predict 42% of a book that is several hundred pages long.
- reedciccio 1y agoIs it Llama violating the "copyright" or is it the researcher pushing it to do so?
- lern_too_spel 1y agoIf you distribute a zip file of the book, are you violating copyright, or is it the person who unzips it?
- TeMPOraL 1y agoIf you walk through the N-gram database with a copy of Harry Potter in hand and observe that for N=7, you can find any piece of it in the database with above-average frequency, does that mean N-gram database is violating copyright?
- gamblor956 1y agoIf the database is sharing those pieces, it might be yes. Copyright takes into account the use for such the copying is done. Commercial use will almost always be treated as not fair use, with limited exceptions.
- TeMPOraL 1y agoI'd say no, because you can't reasonably access and order those pieces without already having the work at your side to use as a reference.
- lern_too_spel 1y agoNot unless you can reproduce large portions of Harry Potter verbatim from the database. If the 7-grams are taken only from Harry Potter, that is very likely.
- gamblor956 1y agoYou are. Copyright is quite literally about the right to control the creation and distribution of copies. The creation of the unzipped file is not treated as a separate copy so the recipient would not be violating copyright just by unzipping the file you provided.
