Seems like 'learning' and 'producing something with that learned information' are two different things. I can 'learn' all day long from copyrighted materials.

Seems like 'learning' and 'producing something with that learned information' are two different things. I can 'learn' all day long from copyrighted materials. I'm not violating anything, because I've not produced a copy that would be distributed or used. First/knee-jerk reaction to that above - no doubt there's more nuance buried someplace.
