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.

My apologies, it was an attempt at humor which I can see backfired terribly. I personally find the regional case is interesting because it shows the possibility of courts seeing this differently, and it’s more than just the ones I quoted.
I think there might be a possible misunderstanding, sorry about my lack of clarity: I wasn’t trying to prove that this is for sure a copryight infringement, since I’m not a lawyer anyway. But I think it’s pretty obvious NVidia doesn’t care if it turns out to be one.
