===== Courts deal in statutes written decades ago for photocopiers, not neural networks. =====
There’s no clear legal framework for “machine learning on copyrighted data.”
That means every lawsuit right now — from the New York Times to Sarah Silverman to GitHub’s Copilot case — is basically a live experiment in making the law catch up.

Until a judge explicitly says, “Training on copyrighted data for commercial AI is infringement,” lawyers can’t “prove exploitation” because there’s no precedent to cite. They’re fighting in legal fog.
