Regardless of where you stand on the LLM vs Copyright debate, that 3rd party would clearly be violating copyright by selling unlicensed content, though?

How clear is it who owns the copyright?

The creator owns the copyright.

Yes but if two websites show the same content, how do you prove you're the creator?

The legal system has this figured out

The legal system also figured out that if person A invents X, then person B cannot possibly independently have figured out X, see the patent system.

If a third party poses themselves as a network operator (basically, acts as a proxy/dumb pipe) or a library (if they have a cache) they aren't liable, are they? I think they aren't because proxy and VPN providers, or CloudFlare's 1.1.1.1, or The Internet Archive are AFAIK not generally considered liable in any sort of infringement.

Wasn't there a case earlier this year that found the Internet Archive liable for copyright infringement?

Oh, I wasn't aware. Thank you for pointing out. From what I've read, even though there's an injunction, IA was going to appeal, so I hope this isn't exactly over yet?
