    I guess that’s one of the core questions the courts have to answer now. I guess it has a lot to do with automation and precision.

    For example, there are libraries where you are free to read certain books cover to cover, but not allowed to copy them and take either home.

    Not a perfect analogy but I hope you get the idea. Another case could be made if literal paragraphs appear, without citing the author.

      Yeah those libraries provide differently depending on the person consuming them. I’d go as far as to say punishing people with a learning disability or social anxiety. I can’t see a reasoning behind keeping people from taking them home.
