This sounds backwards. All the big players in AI are getting sued while most of the minor players are flying under the radar.


The very top of the US government is partnering with and supporting OpenAI, Meta etc. None of these lawsuits are going to amount to anything more than a slap on the wrist. Their logic seems to be that AI is going to be a matter of national importance, and other countries will infringe the copyright anyways, so it must be allowed for the US AI industry to stay competitive.

There's a list of cases here [1]. The case against Github Copilot was already mostly dismissed despite it producing identical samples to license-restricted code. The cat is so far out of the bag now anyways with many open models and datasets containing the stolen data - there is nothing anyone can do about it now.
