  Do you think that would rescue the IA from the type of people who made the IA already pull 300k books?

    No. But going after LLMs wont make the situation for IA any worse, not directly anyway.

      if the courts decide that scraping is illegal, IA can close up shop.

        They could move to a voluntary model in the worst case, they don’t profit from it. Institute a “robots.txt” style protocol for signalling intent to volunteer for scraping

  And this is exactly the reason why I think the IA will be forced to close down while AI companies that trained their models on it will not only stay but be praised for preserving information in an ironic twist. Because one side does participate in capitalism and the other doesn’t. They will claim AI is transformative enough even when it isn’t because the overly rich invested too much money into the grift.
