Google does its best, but there are limits to “directing people towards the copyrighted material at its original location in its original form” - not everything

Google does its best, but there are limits to “directing people towards the copyrighted material at its original location in its original form” - not everything in the intellectual property world is ‘internet native’. The original form of a song lyric or a movie screenplay doesn’t have an ‘original location’ you can be directed to. You can be directed to various online sources that may or may not accurately reproduce the original, and may or may not be scrupulous about attribution, and may or may not have legitimate copyright license to distribute it in the first place.

This is irrelevant to original point about the purpose of a search engine being to highlight rather than replace existing information sources, and OpenAI's purpose for indexing content and policy of not engaging with copyright holders being completely different
