    these companies who have been using copyrighted material - without compensating the content creators - to train their AIs.

    That wouldn’t be copyright infringement.

    It isn’t infringement to use a copyrighted work for whatever purpose you please. What’s infringement is reproducing it.

        If I buy my support staff “IT for Dummies”, and they then, sometimes, reproduce the same/similar advice (turn it off and on again), I owe the textbook writers money? That’s news to me.

        No, it isn’t. There are enumerated rights a copyright grants the holder a monopoly over. They are reproduction, derivative works, public performances, public displays, distribution, and digital transmission.

        Commercial vs non-commercial has nothing to do with it, nor does field of endeavor. And aside from the granted monopoly, no other rights are granted. A copyright does not let you decide how your work is used once sold.

        I don’t know where you guys get these ideas.
