That can easily be written off as fair use.
No, it really couldn't. In fact, it's very persuasive evidence that Llama is straight up violating copyright.
It would be one thing to be able to "predict" a paragraph or two. It's another thing entirely to be able to predict 42% of a book that is several hundred pages long.
If you distribute a zip file of the book, are you violating copyright, or is it the person who unzips it?
If the database is sharing those pieces, it might be yes.
Copyright takes into account the use for such the copying is done. Commercial use will almost always be treated as not fair use, with limited exceptions.
You are.
Copyright is quite literally about the right to control the creation and distribution of copies.
The creation of the unzipped file is not treated as a separate copy so the recipient would not be violating copyright just by unzipping the file you provided.
Is it Llama violating the "copyright" or is it the researcher pushing it to do so?
