I agree with you. What I'm trying to differentiate is between the way you obtain a book and whether training an LLM on a book that you own the rights to read should be considered copyright infringement.

Unless the license you have for the book includes rights for commercial usage, it should be illegal to train a model that is being used for business, imo. In terms of individuals training models for their own personal use, I think that becomes much more tough to answer, but that's not really cropping up in the legal fights.
