> illegally copying and selling pirated software

This is very different to what Anthropic did. Nobody was buying copies of books from Anthropic instead of the copyright holder.

I wouldn't be so sure about that statement, no one has ruled on the output of Anthropic's AI yet. If their AI spits out the original copy of the book then it is practically the same as buying a book from them instead of the copyright holder.

We've only dealt with the fairly straight-forward legal questions so far. This legal battle is still far from being settled.

It’s very unlikely that Claude will verbatim reproduce an entire book from its training corpus. If that’s the bar, they are pretty safe in my opinion.

That's the old law on copyright infringement though. I don't think we can avoid widening this with the rise of AI. The way that AI competes with content creators but gives nothing back, it should be more limited. And I think it will be here in the EU.
