They know it has. Think of this like when a porn studio uploads their own films to a torrent site, and then goes after people who download them.
Except, in this case, everyone involved are terrible human beings. So... while I will never cheer for Sony Music, I will happily root against all the AI/tech companies they go after for scraping their catalogues.
Sony is probably working on a music generator as we speak. So it's not like Sony vs AI but Sony AI Monopoly vs Diverse AI ecosystem including FOSS.
I also consider the data stolen in either case, since Sony isn't going to give a dime more to their artists when they either sell the data or come out with their own software. Actually, if everyone owns it and can use it to train, I see it more as sharing tbh.
I guess I might be bias, I hate these fat cat companies trying to strangle new tech so we have to lick their boots while using it.
