Those books you read were copyrighted.

>>freeja+(OP)
Despite the books being copyrighted that doesn't give the authors any rights over the code I have written.

>>vasdae+01
It does when you produce the code verbatim, as happens frequently.

>>anothe+E1
Betcha I’ve spontaneously produced code that’s been written before. Who do I owe royalties to?

>>jnovek+84
You're not a computer whose sole purpose is to regurgitate code verbatim at massive scale when requested, unlike an LLM designed for exactly that purpose.

under what system of law?! -- there are at least four major economies in the world, and they all have different rules about these intermingled issues.

>>sensan+06
Except LLMs aren't exactly optimized for verbatim regurgitation.
