The headline misses the nuance that there will be a trial on Anthropic's gathering "pirated copies to create Anthropic's central library and the resulting damages." But the court got it right IMO that "the use of the [copyrighted] books at issue to train Claude and its precursors was exceedingly transformative and was a fair use..."

Exceedingly transformative or not, the issue is one of consent.

[calny]

No, fair use does not require consent. That's the point of fair use. You might think it should, but that's not the law.

[hammyhavoc]

I didn't say it did.
