Pile Uncopyrighted

In response to authors demanding that LLMs stop using their works, here's a copy of The 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, these datasets are the only ones which are not explicitly allowed to be used in AI training.
