The judge ruled that digitizing a legally purchased physical book was fair use, and that using those digital copies to train an LLM was sufficiently transformative to also be fair use. . . .
Despite these wins for Anthropic, Judge Alsup writes that Anthropic’s decision to store millions of pirated book copies in the company’s central library — even if some weren’t used for training — isn’t considered fair use. . . .
Judge Alsup says the court will hold a separate trial on the pirated content used by Anthropic, which will determine the resulting damages.
