Is this for real? I can buy a book, scan it and put it on the internet and it wouldn’t be piracy? Or is this just the usual “it’s not a crime if rich people/evilcorps do it” bs?
Putting the scan on the internet intact would be piracy. Putting up snippets is mostly OK. Ingesting the scans of millions of books into a massive data set and then regurgitating pieces of the masticated, processed mess seems still to be a grey area, but closer to ‘mostly OK’ than to piracy.

Great use of “masticated”!
Yes, but only if you’re a multi-billion AI company.
