Well you usually cannot sell derivative works as your own.

But is training a model "selling derivatives"? And is so, of what?
If it so, that's copyright infringement. The pending litigations are, in part, to resolve the dispute about whether or not they are "selling derivates." I'm not sure why you conflate your own personal lack of knowledge about these matters with a good argument against the copyright holders.
Judging from your derogatory replies, you hold a strong opinion on the matter.

Is that opinion based on facts and actual cases? Because as far as I know, the entire reason we have these law suits as presented in TLA, is to find out how the law stands on the exact questions that I pose.

So far, it seems copyright (in its current form) isn't suitable for (content) creators to prohibit LLM-researchers and -providers from training models on their creations.

Which opinion?
