I'd love to know the source for the works that were allegedly violated. Presuming OpenAI didn't scour zlib/libgen for the books, where on the net were the cleartext copies of their writings stored?
Being stored in cleartext publicly on the net does not grant OpenAI the right to misuse their art, but the authors need to go after the entity that leaked their works.
That’s not how copyright works though. Just because someone else “leaked” the work doesn’t absolve openai of responsibility. The authors are free to go after whomever they want.
You misunderstood. I said the public availability does not grant OpenAI the right to use content improperly. The authors should also sue the party who leaked their works without license.
