Meta have paid the copyright fee but uploaded material from Ann’s Archive because it wasn’t financially feasible to scan in each book individually.
Fair use is irrelevant.

You could also try understanding the law
§107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include-
- the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
- the nature of the copyrighted work;
- the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
- the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
with particular attention to factors 3 & 4.
If that’s not for you, though, then you should definitely try that with a copyright work (Disney?) & report back on how that went.

Meta have paid the copyright fee
Lol, no. “Copyright fees” are what you pay your government in order to register your copyright or keep your copyright registration active.
Or to put it another way, copyright fees have fuck all to do with fair use.
You’re trying make it sound as though Meta obtained consent and paid authors for their own work when in fact, Meta obtained consent from no one, and paid nothing at all to anyone, in exchange for the use of their works.
Even a light skim of the attached article would have told you that much. What do you think a copyright suit is about?
“Meta have paid the copyright fee,” lol. That’s some r/ConfidentlyIncorrect shit right there. Why did you even bother?

Are you referring to yourself by claiming your ignorance somehow matches legal expertise? Cool ad hominem, by the way: fallacies, blame-shifting when you run out of evidence (you had none), & self-indulgent vanity are the hallmarks of trolls. Way to out yourself, buddy. 😄
