A court just ruled on Anthropic and said an LLM response wasn't a form of counterfeiting (ie, essentially selling pirate books on the black market). Although tbf that is the most radical interpretation still being put forward by the lawyers of publishers like NYTimes, despite the obvious flaws.
Anthropic still faces billions of dollars in damages for pirating over 7 million books to build a digital library.
The trial is scheduled for December 2025. That's when a jury will decide how much Anthropic owes for copying and storing those pirated books
