The fact that Meta torrented Books3 and other datasets seems to be by self-admission by Meta employees who performed the work and/or oversaw those who themselves did the work, so that is not really under dispute or ambiguous.

My comparison was illustrative and analogous in nature. The copyright cartel is making a fruit of the poisonous tree type of argument. Whatever Meta are doing with LLMs is doing the heavy lifting that parity files used to do back in the Usenet days. I wouldn’t be surprised if BitTorrent or other similar caching and distribution mechanisms incorporate AI/LLMs to recognize an owl on the wire, draw the rest just in time in transit, and just send the diffs, or something like that.
The pictures are the same. All roads lead to Rome, so they say.
All of the major AI models these days use "clean" datasets stripped of copyrighted material.
They also use data from the previous models, so I'm not sure how "clean" it really is

Which of the major commercial models discloses its dataset? Or are you just trusting some unfalsifiable self-serving PR characterization?
Books3 was used in Llama1. We don't know if they used it later on.
