      In which way do you expect this to strengthen copyright laws? Also, from the article, it reads like Anthropic implicitly admits to copyright infringement, and that their defence essentially boils down to “if you prosecute us, we will go bankrupt”. I don’t see how that flies, but then again, IANAL :-)

        i don’t know, but there have been cases in other areas where failure to convict have basically become grounds for not prosecuting those cases. again, i don’t know much about common law, it’s not used here.
