I'm all for chopping up copyright law. But until we do so, companies like Meta need to be treated just like everyone else.

That means lawsuits, prison sentences, and millions in fines. And that's just the piracy part, there's also the lying/fraud part.

Interestingly, a Dutch LLM project was sent a cease and desist after the local copyright lobby caught wind of it being trained on a bunch of pirated eBooks. The case unfortunately wasn't fought out in court, because I would be very interested to see if this could make that copyright lobby take down ChatGPT and the other AI companies for doing the same.
