The other reason they don't do it is because many models are trained on a large corpus of pirated texts, and documenting this would be a confession.

Not just in an 'I scraped the new york times without permission' kind of way, but in a 'I illegally downloaded a torrent containing bestsellers from the last 30 years' kind of way.

    Exactly. It's not that they can't, or that it's too expensive, it's that doing so will reveal their crimes.

    In a sense, to me, it is the same thing. If your business is built upon repurposing everyone else's inputs indiscriminately to your benefit and their detriment, it is, too expensive, to reveal that simple truth.

    Bestsellers? There used to be torrents of basically all releases. My provider blocks torrent sites and I dont use a vpn so im not sure if people still do this, but downloading basically all books (in english) at once released in a certain period was possible
