Remember that if language models or other AI are responsible for paying ongoing licensing for books they read to train themselves, it’s a small step away for people going to universities being responsible for the same when they start making money in their careers. In both scenarios the books were legally purchased for training. They don’t care about the scale argument, they care about the money argument. If they win and set a precedence here, be ready for high paying careers from those learnings be the next target. It’s not a false equivalence, it is how this stuff eventually goes. They want a subscription world. Remember that.

They are asking Microsoft and Open AI to pay a subscription?

You mean that they can later equate "subscription for using this model trained with my book" to "subscription for using your brain trained with my book"?

Yep it's capitalism. Imagine books been sold by the chapter (Im sorry I mean rented by the page) it sick and totally bullshit, but this is end stage capitalism.

Capitalism can't go on forever it got a bubble and we are close to it busting.

So these lawsuits are bullshit and should be overturned.

Except, at least for the time being, humans have legal rights and protections. Software has none.
