Leaving your front door open isn’t prudent but doesn’t grant permission to others to enter and take/copy your belongings or data.

The security teams may have royally screwed up, but OpenAI has a legal obligation to respect copyright and laws regarding data ownership.

Likewise, they could have scraped pages that included terms of use, copyright, disclaimers, etc., and failed to honor them.

All parties can be in the wrong for different reasons.
