American companies can't sur Chinese ones, but they can do it with European ones.

So then the European ones should join with European copyright holders to sue OpenAI/Anthropic and watch them trying to BS their way around what they train on.
Training a model on copyrighted material is fair use and copyright holders already operate a mafia-style extortion ring in Europe, so I don't think that's a good idea.

I am not sure this has been actually established, but I don't see how distilling a model is not fair use then.

American companies won't even sue other American companies (xai distilling opus), in fact they instead form partnerships ;)
