"How much of someone else's work can I use without getting permission?
Under the fair use doctrine of the U.S. copyright statute, it is permissible to use limited portions of a work including quotes, for purposes such as commentary, criticism, news reporting, and scholarly reports."

Limited portions, not the entire work.
- bogwog 3y agoQuote from the OP: > The Gizmodo article has a ridiculously wrong “fair use” analysis, saying “Fair Use does not, by any stretch of the imagination, allow you to use an author’s entire copyrighted work without permission as a part of a data training program that feeds into your own ‘AI algorithm.’” Except… it almost certainly does? Again, we’ve gone through this with the Google Book scanning case, and the courts said that you can absolutely do that because it’s transformative.

- giantrobot 3y agoThat's ludicrous. It's counting words in a book. You can't copyright facts and that is all the tool is doing. Pages that are reproduced are only excerpts which falls squarely under fair use. It's no different than you checking out the book from the library and counting all the words.
- ineedasername 3y agoCopyright pertains to reproduction of the work. The statistics this tool provided are not reproductions at all. It did also provide quotes, which were not extensive and certainly not the entire work.
