    You don’t need a license to learn from a story, but if learning requires you first to make an enduring copy of the story on your laptop then you could be violating copyright.

    And neural nets generally require a local enduring copy of their training data, which means they too could be violating copyright.

        No. For example, most people who pirate software, movies, and music do not sell anything. But they are still violating copyright.
