No. People are not LLMs. And even if some argue that they are mechanically similar, they are legally distinct.
If I charged people for the privilege of listening to me recite relevant parts of the book to them for profit? Yes. Depending on the copyright.
So like a teacher?
What if you steal a CD and then play it on your radio station each morning?
Even better, what if you transform that stolen CD into an MP3, so the data isn’t the same as a lossy process was used, then share the MP3 with the world as your own work?
I don’t get why the training process doesn’t count as any other form of transformation but then I’m not a lawyer.
even better if it is a pirate radio station
If I perform a song in public then yes, I should pay the creator every time I play it. I fail to see the difference here.
Live bands are playing songs of known artists all the time, is that actually illegal?
What if you are performing your own song which was heavily influenced by other artists?
Also I believe performing covers is legal
