Reading isn't the right comparison. Human memory is lossy and fades while LLM encoding is durable with no degradation. The valuable content that the author provides: the content, style, selection of topics, and more is encoded, written into the LLM weights, and they obtain profit from them (now directly, via ads). No one can compete with that kind of copying and pasting from copyright-protected material. And the scale is what hurts authors most: flooding the market with millions of copies on demand, without paying for it.

> No only reading, because the content, style, selection of topics, and more is encoded, written, in the LLM weights

Exactly analogous to a human reading the material.

Please give me the location of any copyrighted work in the weights of any open source model or a prompt that will retrieve it.
