    Copyright Law doesn’t talk about who can consume the work. ChatGPT’s theft is no different to piracy and companies have gotten very pissy about their shit being pirated but when ChatGPT does it (because the piracy is hidden behind its training), it’s fine. The individual authors and artists get shafted in the end because their work has been weaponised against them.

      What law does talk about it, then?

          You seem to be suggesting that training these LLMs is illegal, with things like “ChatGPT’s theft” and " the piracy is hidden behind its training".

          In order for something to be illegal there has to be a law making it illegal. What law is that?
