Copyright as a Transparency Lever

Copyright owners can demand not only damages but operational remedies — for example, forcing AI developers to disclose training datasets, model weights, and training configurations — when licensed or copyrighted works are used to train large language models. That turns traditional copyright enforcement into a potential mechanism for forcing AI provenance and user 'freedom' as part of settlements. — If courts or settlements accept transparency or distribution of models as a remedy, copyright law could become a primary tool shaping AI openness, provenance standards, and commercial model design.
