One should also keep in mind the countless people who got much of their education from pirated books.

This seems to be a bad faith argument, although it would be amusing to see Facebook use it.

"Your honor, it's fair use because students have downloaded educational books for years."

People can process only fraction of that while using much more time to do that. And I'm using 'process' here to meet you in your nihilist argument that these algorithms are same as humans. Which is pretty strange because people barely acknowledge similarities with other mammals but suddenly software is equal.
