Uh... no.

Copyright violations are something like 150k per instance, so each time it was copied. Picture a bunch of bootleg DVDs, the fine is not one-time for 7 DVDs. It's 7x150k.

Antrophic will potentially ruin the value of every work they trained on. Google should have been fined, too tbh. Napster got shut down but Google gets a pass? It's nonsense. The recording industry just had more weight to throw around and I guess nobody gives a shit about books.

I doubt anyone would be stoked to foot a bill for trillions of dollars of damages when an AI company is hit for training on millions of copyrighted works. Multiply the number of works times 100,000 to get a floor for max statutory damages.



Don't be mad at me, be mad at Disney and Sonny Bono.
