That's exactly what happens when you read. Copyrighted input fed straight into your brain, a lossy storage and processing machine.

    I think it’s a pretty easy principle that machines are not people and people learning should be treated differently than machines learning

      You see this principle in privacy laws too.

      I can be in a room looking at something with my eyeballs and listening with my ears perfectly legally... But it would not be legal if I replaced myself with a humanoid mannequin with a video camera for a head.
