1. The ability to be able to run and train these models is going to eventually be perfectly plausible on a home machine.
2. It's only a matter of time before models, e.g. a popular model scraped from all of the code on GitHub, is a publicly available torrent.
3. People will be able to just run it locally as an integrated plug-in in jet brains or VS code.
4. You'll never know if somebody has lifted their code in violation of a license anymore than you would be able to tell if somebody used code from stack overflow without attribution in any commercial endeavor.
Just because some people get away with copyright infringement doesn't mean that copyright infringement is now legal.
I don't think 1-3 matter at all. The point is that GitHub is selling a tool that can commit copyright infringement. This lawsuit is trying to get them to pay the consequences for the infringement that they have enabled.
