Its funny that OpenAI is complaining, they don't mind saying copyright doesn't apply to them if it makes them money.

In retrospect, Bezos did the smartest thing by buying the Washington Post. In retrospect, Google did a great thing by working on a deal with Reddit. Content repositories/creators are going to sue these LLM companies in the West until they make licensing agreements. If I were OpenAI, I'd work hard to spend the money they raised to literally buyout as many of these outlets as possible.

How much could the NYT back catalog be worth? Just buy it, ask the Saudis.
