    So what I’m understanding is that it’s only piracy if I don’t have an LLM to feed the books to?

      I think what it’s saying is that using the books for training is fine, but only if you legally purchased a copy. Downloading the books to avoid paying the author is definitely illegal. So that part of the ruling seems slightly misleading as we knew that part.

        So can I buy a copy of, say, The Da Vinci Code, use it to train “DaVinci-GPT”, a model trained to recite all chapters of the book and distribute that model for free?
