I agree that's bad at any rate. However, I genuinely think that reading and learning without literal reproduction is not (should not be) a violation of copyright and does not (should not) require an additional grant for content that has been made publicly available. I think that regardless of whether a company is the subject or the actor.
But you’d usually have to pay for access to this copyrighted material, whether you reproduce it or not.
Yep, and Anthropic lost that case correctly. I just don't think that "you have to buy one copy" will fix anything related to AI to the satisfaction of anybody but the law.
