1) In a lot of western countries (EU, UK too I think) the hammer has already come down in favor of using public but copyrighted data.

2) Wouldn’t that cause open source models to be favored? A big company has lawyers that ensure that the internal practices comply with the law while on the other hand, good luck suing some random guy from 4chan who made a model that may or may not incorporate copyrighted data.

Sure there will be "bootleg" models available on BitTorrent or whatever, but generally "open source" refers to legitimately licensed code a big company with lawyers would be ok with incorporating into their own business.
