I’m not sure there are any laws around what can and cannot be used as training data. It is a sort of grey area right now and current precedent (think copilot) is that you can use whatever you want without worrying about its source so long as your model is generating something new (not just selecting and presenting data you gave it).

I don't believe there is such a legal precedent as you describe. Regarding your specific example, there is currently a multi-billion dollar class-action lawsuit against Copilot, for commercial copyright infringement damages.

Sorry for confusion, I didn’t mean a legal precedent I meant practice precedent. Specifically, I meant that the legality of these practices have not yet been determined. They are in a grey area. We’ll see if legal precedent is set by the lawsuit you referenced. It’s not at all obvious that current laws apply here.
