They can do the same thing in the US. What are you going to do, sue OpenAI or Anthropic?

Well, yes, because the courts and the AI labs are totally separate entities.

If they are doing it to you, they are probably doing it to others, which makes an easy class action

Is any class action lawsuit "easy"?

They lawyers do all the leg work (and keep most of the money), but from the defendant POV it all looks the same.

Anthropic paid out a lot of money for the copyrighted material they used.

(not commenting on whether it was a fair amount - just saying these companies are not immune to lawsuits)
