I was looking for resources for a custom LLM and noticed they had a ton of copyrighted books and wondered to myself how the heck that was legal
I guess this answers that
Just like regular libraries have copyrighted books: they lend them to one person at a time.
They definitely weren't monitoring the one at a time rule... I downloaded the file and now have it forever
Sounds like a you problem. ;)
How does that make sense? How does putting a "Download PDF" button on their site with no restrictions make this a "me" problem?
You should obviously delete those downloaded files like a good boy.
