Anthropic And OpenAI Lawsuits Over Copyright
There is news about two of the major players in the LLM market.
Anthropic is now being sued in a class action lawsuit. This is something that OpenAI has faced.
At the same time, OpenAI is coming to agreement with publishers on their content.
In this video I discuss both these topics along with how this could apply to the copyright laws (which are completely outdated).
Here are the articles cited in the video:

These are two major players in the LLM AI scene and am glad that they are facing issues now for copyright.
Copyright laws have, to a large extent been an ideological tool to support Capitalism in my opinion. Some argue that it is not possible, with perhaps minor exceptions, to have an original idea/creation in the sense that most times the original creator, or legal copyright holder if you will, themselves were influenced.
With the appearance of open source and its Copyleft terminology in their copyrights, was the signal that the concept of copyright ownership might need some reworking if not putting it aside for some other form of recognition.
Perhaps that is happening on its own with the many forms of different copyright restrictions which define, in multiple unique ways, allowable usage.
Note to Self : Why do you never see a copyright copyrighted? 🤓
I find it interesting that the ones who sued are able to find out that their data has been used. I think this will be more common in the future as companies look for more data. I wonder if they will always just go for a deal once they get caught, since a lot of content creators just can't fight a prolonged court battle against these big companies.
