Japan determines copyright doesn’t apply to LLM/ML training data.
On a global scale, Japan’s move adds a twist to the regulation debate. Current discussions have focused on a “rogue nation” scenario where a less developed country might disregard a global framework to gain an advantage. But with Japan, we see a different dynamic. The world’s third-largest economy is saying it won’t hinder AI research and development. Plus, it’s prepared to leverage this new technology to compete directly with the West.
I am going to live in the sea.

I’m pretty sure the law doesn’t say that. The Blurred Lines copyright case for example was far less than 10%. Probably less than 1%, and it was still unclear if it was infringement or not - it took five years of lawsuits to come to a conclusion. Which was a split decision - the first court found it to be infringing then an appeals panel of judges reached a split decision where the majority of them found it to be non-infringing, so even after five years there wasn’t a clear ruling on wether or not it was copyright infringement.
Copyright is incredibly complex and unclear.
