However, companies that downloaded enormous amounts of pirated texts (i.e., stuff they did not have license to download in the first place) still infringed copyright just like anybody else.

I thought only the distribution part was copyright infringement.

Not in this ruling. A hoard of books or videos you didn’t pay for is still piracy. And the volume of it is a key factor when making this decision. At the scale these AI companies have been working, it’s flagrant.
