I think they're basically taking the "Uber" strategy here: primary business is probably illegal, but if they do it hard enough and at enough scale and create enough value for enough big companies, then they become big enough to either get regulations changed or strong enough to weather lawsuits and prosecutions. Their copyright fig leaf is perhaps analogous to Uber's "it's not a taxi service so we don't need taxi medallions" fig leaf.

Moreover, Uber flaunted their non-compliance in contrast to sama testifying before Congress and trying to initiate regulatory capture early. There’s undeniably similar amounts of greed, although TK seems to genuinely enjoy being a bully versus sama is more of a futurist.
