  > There are four essential elements to a charge of criminal copyright infringement. In order to sustain a conviction under section 506(a), the government must demonstrate: (1) that a valid copyright; (2) was infringed by the defendant; (3) willfully; and (4) for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain. I think it’s very much an open debate if training a model on publicly available data counts as infringement or not.

    I'm replying to your comment about infringement being a civil tort versus a crime, it can be both.
