The very top of the US government is partnering with and supporting OpenAI, Meta etc. None of these lawsuits are going to amount to anything more than a slap on the wrist. Their logic seems to be that AI is going to be a matter of national importance, and other countries will infringe the copyright anyways, so it must be allowed for the US AI industry to stay competitive.

There's a list of cases here [1]. The case against Github Copilot was already mostly dismissed despite it producing identical samples to license-restricted code. The cat is so far out of the bag now anyways with many open models and datasets containing the stolen data - there is nothing anyone can do about it now.
