Hmmm, that got me thinking: if you selfhost, you make sure you also instal ollama or some LLM you can also self-host. You don't need to use the LLM yourself at all. Then if something goes south, and you're accused of piracy, you can just defend yourself that you used all these materials to train your own LLM. That should get you out of trouble, right?
If you billion dollar company. Probably not if individual.
@far_university1990 yes but the legal precedent has been set, lol
(/s maybe)
Again, they haven't made a decision on the distribution part of the training data, which is the one related to piracy. They only ruled that using copyrighted material for training LLM did not satisfy copyright infringement for the specific argument used by the authors against Meta.
Damn
