Why is fair use even an issue? The content provider provided a lawful copy to the recipient. The first sale doctrine means it’s theirs to use as they please. Since the data is distributed as a software program the copyright act permits copying it as needed for a machine to actually use it.
There’s a reason it’s called COPYright and not USEright. It’s remarkable to me that some private attorneys working for Microsoft somehow hypnotized the entire population into believing that they need to be licensed rights that they already have by law.
