Doing something a little isn’t the same a doing something a lot. You can walk into a restaurant and look at a menu for 5 minutes and then leave without issue but try to do that same thing for 8 hours.
Downloading a singe transient copy of some image once in the lifetime of a company is different than doing that same action a hundred times once for each version of the network.
i think this should be dismissed as it is the same level of transience as the workings of the internet; you and your ISP, caching proxies etc, all made a transient copy as part of the existing (legal) consumption of the works that the author has put online.
Unless the works was illegally copied for training - which cannot be true if the works was publicly available for viewing on the internet, this transient copying cannot be a valid infringement.
