You had to do this for reading too. The words were burned onto your retina as volatile memory before getting processed by your brain.

You retina likely overwrote it's "memory" as soon as you looked at something else, but that's no different than copying and deleting or the more apt analogy: streaming.

The law makes a distinction between storing it on a disk and just remembering the content. The latter is not a "copy" and not a subject of law:

> “Copies” are material objects, other than phonorecords, in which a work is fixed by any method now known or later developed, and from which the work can be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated, either directly or with the aid of a machine or device. The term “copies” includes the material object, other than a phonorecord, in which the work is first fixed.

> A work is “fixed” in a tangible medium of expression when its embodiment in a copy or phonorecord, by or under the authority of the author, is sufficiently permanent or stable to permit it to be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated for a period of more than transitory duration. A work consisting of sounds, images, or both, that are being transmitted, is “fixed” for purposes of this title if a fixation of the work is being made simultaneously with its transmission.

Interesting. How long is the transitory duration? The interpretation of that likely has yet to be determined by a court case and can evolve similar to how “all men are created equal” doesn’t just refer to men.

Seems to me a possible interpretation is just deleting the data after training is finished.

BS. Nvidia store use the copy for each training run, or do you really thing the just download it each time in real time for training?
