Seems unlikely that they will be successful in shutting it down. If that were the case, they would have been shut down over the books already.

So that they don’t get the spotlight on them and get shit down? Unless they have the money and legal representation behind them to fight it, like the AI companies do?

AI companies train their software on copyrighted content. They don’t spread direct copies of that content around.

Clandestine organizations are hard to keep a tight rein on. All it takes is one deviant to sway others and start a foolish snowball effect…
