I think this is part of a recurring pattern in tech of pushing boundaries around copyright. In the last few years, we had Google scanning books, Google threatening to shut down News in Canada rather than pay publishers, LLMs summarizing art

I think the problem is that “transformation” has never been clearly defined in copyright law, and that ambiguity is exactly what AI companies lean on in their defense. At a human scale, those boundaries get clarified through litigation on a
