Does it? Because these companies systematically broke copyright law by illegally downloading terabytes of copyrighted content and there's been no consequences.

Past behaviour informs future trust and I wouldn't trust these companies whatsoever.

> and there's been no consequences.

Anthropic paid $1.5 billion for that, and never publicly deployed a model derived from the illegally downloaded data.

I'm not sure about the other companies off the top of my head - but I rather imagine they either never did this (I note that Google for instance already has lawfully acquired copies of basically every scrap of data you can imagine wanting to pirate) or are in the process of being sued or settled and I missed the news.
