It would be interesting to see how this holds up in court.

"Your honor, I didn't watch the movie I downloaded, I only used it to train an AI."

I highly suspect it would not matter.

well I think that will be the final judgement. We'll treat training data more as distribution than as consumption. Things always get more complicated when you put stuff up for sale. I also can't necessarily get away with Making "Garry Botter" who got accepted into an Enchanter school and goes on adventures with Jon and Germione. Unless it's parody, you can only cut so close before you're just infringinng anyway despite making it legally distinct.
