>Can I download a book without paying for it

if you have evidence that openAI is doing this with books that are not freely available, i'm sure the publishers would absolutely love to hear about it.



We know Meta has done it. These companies have torrented or downloaded books that they did not pay for. Things like the The Pile, libgen, anna's library were scraped to build these models.

Lol, so why are OpenAI challenging these laws?


Do you think OpenAI used fewer sources than Meta?
