This week on Cloud Unplugged Season 3 Episode 3:
Can Europe build its own cloud for the price of a data centre car park? Is training AI on pirated books the Napster moment for the entire industry? And is 35% of the internet already written by someone who doesn't sleep, eat, or pay taxes?

- EU hands €180M sovereign cloud contract to European companies. AWS, Azure and Google didn't make the cut
- The €180M that has to rival hyperscalers who spend that much on a single data centre (spoiler: it's a statement of intent, not a war chest)
- Bartz v. Anthropic settles for $1.5 billion. The largest copyright settlement in AI history and the rules just got written
- Training on legally bought books: fine. Downloading from LibGen and PiLiMi: very much not fine

Plus: a Stanford study finds 35% of new websites are AI-generated, a wolf escapes a South Korean zoo, someone posts a fake AI image of it in their neighbourhood and the man is now facing jail.
