    There’s no money for them in that angle though. It’s much easier to sue xerox for enabling copyright violations than the person who used the machine to violate copyright.

    Courts have already handled this with copy machines. AI isn’t terribly different, it’s unlikely these suits against model creators succeed.

      There’s money (and more importantly, survival) if they can ensure liability of Xerox for infringement on the use of their centralized copiers.

      There actually isn’t survival as a company even if they succeed on training but not the other, which I don’t think they realize yet.

      As an aside, one of the worst legal takes I read on this was from a GC at the Copyright office during the 70s who extensively used poor analogies to copiers to justify an infringement argument.
