Facebook is claiming its use of copyrighted works for training was fair use.

Yeah, teens downloading Metallica albums off Napster twenty years ago to listen in their parent’s basement was a serious crime, but Big Corp Inc. feeding books to the copyright erasing machine is somehow fair use. The gall.

Functionally erasing the author’s copyright, is the issue.

Are there court decisions on that I’ve missed or something? As soon as it reproduces enough to prove it’s a derivative work, game over.
