For me it's quite obvious that if you make a profit from an engine that has as an input copyrighted material, then you owe something to the owner of this copyrighted content. We have seen this same problem with artists claiming stable diffusion engines were using their art.

I think we're in a new paradigm and need to look at this differently. The end goal is to train models on all the output of humanity. Everyone will have contributed to it (artists, writers, coders on github... the people who taught the writers, the people who invented the English language, the people who created the daily events that were reported on, etc). We're better off letting ML companies free access to almost everything, while taxing the output. The bargain is "you took from everyone, so you give to everyone". This is probably a more win-win setup that respects the reality that it's really the public commons that is generating the value here.
