The value of a company has nothing to do with whether copyright applies.

Unless the value of the company is based on one product with alleged copyright infringement.

OpenAI has one asset: GPT.

That says nothing about the value of the company.

If it's an infringement when OpenAI does it, it would be an infringement when a company with 1/1000th the value did it.
