It's not over. This is a tiny drop in the ocean of violations.

The current "model" of LLMs isn't actually economically viable.


The entire sector is in trouble. Recent news:

Writers involved in the case will reportedly receive $3,000 per work.
At the risk of invoking Whataboutism, I'd like to point out that the "fine" for a multi-billion dollar company pirating authors' works and profiting off them is $3,000.

Meanwhile, the fine for a private citizen pirating music is $22,500 per song:

Or in Ireland the penalty for enabling* cable TV or Satellite piracy against an individual (they use copyright violations via civil sue rather than the €5000 limited fine of criminal conviction for theft of service) can easily be €100,000 and seizure of all electronic equipment.

They threw out claim against copying non-pirated copyright work because of the precedent of Google winning the case of scanning as fair use (Google bought that judgement and lied to win). Google's scanning of complete copyright works is not fair use.

One law for individuals and another for corporations.

[* To be fair, the cable company only charges unpaid subscription against individual using Pay TV without charge, but Sky will look for lost sub + many €K against pubs using a domestic pay TV card]

In fact generative AI / LLMs may not be economically viable.
