There is no need to call me a sweet summer child.
I’m not terribly swayed by a Munich regional case, especially as its still under appeal.
The anthropic settlement definitely is a bit more meaningful though, although it does contradict the Munich one:
We reached this settlement in 2025, after the court’s landmark ruling that training AI on books is fair use under copyright law
The basically settled because they stole the copies of books they used to train on. If they had just paid for a copy of the books they possibly would have been fine.
