Are you sure? Or are owners deciding not to sue because they are seeing some benefit?

I believe copyright is always case-by-case. No one sues over plot summaries because they likely help sales. Summarize books or news articles with an LLM and you end up with the lawsuits we see today.

The specific difference is summarizing automatically, at scale, which is a novel technological possibility.

The previous balance of rights was created when summarizing took human time and proceeded at human pace.

Now, that's different and a new balance needs to be struck.
