Wow, I really don’t get it, if I were to memorize billions of pages worth of people’s private messages and medical records, then recited them live in the Internet, would that be a crime??

What exactly is the difference between that and downloading billions of pages worth of people's private messages and medical records, and putting them in a torrent? If there is a difference, I should be able to make a disability discrimination case under the ADA and erase that difference, because I don't have the memory to do that without the aid of a prosthetic (i.e. my laptop.)
Yeah, unless you had permission from the authors to do so.
Yes, it would be.

Thankfully AI doesn't work by memorization.
