The AI-is-IP-theft lawyers need to focus on the pre-training act of copying the training material to the repo in the first place. THAT is the unauthorized infringement, not the training part.

All humans want is the opportunity to improve their lives. When people do not have economic opportunities available to them, their only option becomes to bet whatever little they can gather with the hope that luck will change their fortune.
