with all that stolen stuff, i could also write a book "how google works" talking about what kinds of processes google has and how they feed into different products and how googlers feel about those.

i think that actually would be fair use. i could similarly have an LLM trained on all that data help me write that book. it would still be fair use.

clamping down on fair use by restricting the LLM training is stealing from the public to give to the copyright holders. The copyright holders already have recourse when somebody publishes unlicense copies of their works via take downs and court.
