    They cite Kaggle as the dataset source, but that entry reads:

    About Dataset This dataset contains 7 txt files of 7 books of Harry Potter. First, I downloaded the ebooks and then converted them to txt files. I removed the front page and the ending lines of the books to make it more clean. This dataset can be used for NLP tasks like text processing, text mining, etc.

    So the dataset is public domain…? Is that how copyright works?

      “Your honor, this isn’t pirated video content. It’s a series of MP4 files that have had the commercials removed to make it more clean, so now it’s a dataset I can use to train video models.”

    Kaggle’s dataset section is a cesspool.

    All the data is either stolen or fake, which entirely defeats the fucking point.
