Acquisition and licensing
Much of the training data a model needs already exists, held by publishers and data holders who each set their own terms. Licensing that data means agreeing in writing how it may be used: the uses a license permits, its term and whether the data may be shared onward. Copyright law, and how courts apply it to model training, sets the background each agreement is written against.
Research on acquisition and licensing
The research here covers what a training data license grants, what public filings and reports disclose about licensing deals, and how U.S. courts and the Copyright Office treat model training under copyright law. Every figure and ruling carries its source and its date. None of it is legal advice.
