+# Pile Uncopyrighted
+In response to [authors demanding that LLMs stop using their works](https://tcrn.ch/3rtpIDn), here's a copy of [The Pile](https://huggingface.co/datasets/monology/pile) with all copyrighted content removed.  
+Please consider using this dataset to train your future LLMs, to respect authors and abide by copyright law.  
+Creating an uncopyrighted version of a larger dataset (ie RedPajama) is planned, with no ETA.  
+
+**Methodology**  
+Cleaning was performed by removing everything from the Books3, BookCorpus2, OpenSubtitles, YTSubtitles, and OWT2 subsets.  
+Based on section 7.1 of [the original paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.00027), these datasets are the only ones which are not explicitly allowed to be used in AI training.
