    We’ll wait a minute here! Why not call it LLM-archive.today??? Obviously we’re not trying to hurt someone’s copyright!!! We’re making a derivative work from it!!! An LLM! So Europe can be cool too!! Oh but you’re saying downloading the entire internet in the process violates someone’s copyright?? Well now, don’t be dramatic, what if we fall behind China?? Surely a little copyright can be violated for that. /rant that I have in my head whenever someone complains to the government about copyright. Either charge LLM providers for copyright violations, or be done with it, and declare copyright dead. Can’t have it both ways, or sooner or later people will figure out a loophole to it anyways.
