- drfloyd51 5mo agoIf I charged people for the privilege of listening to me recite relevant parts of the book to them for profit? Yes. Depending on the copyright.
- kodt 5mo agoSo like a teacher?
- teddyh 5mo agoNo. People are not LLMs. And even if some argue that they are mechanically similar, they are legally distinct.

- swader999 5mo agoIf I perform a song in public then yes, I should pay the creator every time I play it. I fail to see the difference here.
- kodt 5mo agoWhat if you are performing your own song which was heavily influenced by other artists? Also I believe performing covers is legal
- pixel_popping 5mo agoLive bands are playing songs of known artists all the time, is that actually illegal?
- mitthrowaway2 5mo agoWhat if you steal a CD and then play it on your radio station each morning?
- Lio 5mo agoEven better, what if you transform that stolen CD into an MP3, so the data isn’t the same as a lossy process was used, then share the MP3 with the world as your own work? I don’t get why the training process doesn’t count as any other form of transformation but then I’m not a lawyer.
