So you record a copy "for a friend" and then you sell lots of those copies as your business. All within your rights! What's mine is yours, my Comrade!

(my point being that it would be different if the product CommonCrawl provides were trained models, but this is not the case: its product is unlawful reproductions of copyrighted data for commercial use)

Common Crawl is not a business and is not selling anything.

It's awfully hard to claim you aren't selling anything when you're giving other people's stuff away for free and they would be selling it if you hadn't, um, "saved them the trouble"
