I’m not sure if the courts have cared about that nuance when persecuting the ‘small fish,’ but I bet they would in this ‘big fish’ case.

If the receiving entity then ingests all that copyrighted material into its AI, and the AI sends it piece at a time to other receiving entities, that should be the AI infringing on everything it is copying to make its answers.

Yes, yes it should. But that’s a different act than the one being discussed here.

I agree. Still doesn’t hurt to bring it up on appropriate tangents.
