AI companies are caught in a legal whirlwind as courts grapple with whether training models on copyrighted books violates fair use. A recent $1.5 billion judgment against Anthropic wasn’t for using copyrighted material—but for illegally sourcing it from pirated libraries. The judge sided with the idea that AI training can be “fair use,” likening it to studying literature, but warned that if AI output directly competes with original works, it may not qualify. Meanwhile, lawsuits are shutting down non-transformative AI platforms, and courts are wrestling with whether AI-generated content can even be copyrighted. With no clear answers in sight, these rulings are setting messy, evolving precedents that every player in the AI space must watch closely.
