I predict it is very likely we will see a court case where a smaller actor will take public available information as training data and get sued for copyright information. It will be interesting to see if, just like in the pirate bay case, the courts will be creative. In the TPB case, the accused was found guilty of an Swedish anti-biker gang law that was written with the intention to shut down biker bars.

When copilot came out, one thing it reminded me of was the ethical considerations of face generators in animation. The output naturally has some similarities with the training data, and it is trivial to use a limited set of actors in order to create faces with canny similarities of the actors. A question that people asked (here on HN if I recall) was if you needed permission from those actors to use in the training set, or if this would allow anyone to "steal" the face of public faces and create semi-look alike that can then be used in anything from porn to advertisement.

The law is undoubtedly going to catch up.
