If you photograph and stitch a panorama of a CD at a resolution with the data visible and distribute it under your copyright, is it piracy?

Piracy is not a technical definition but a legal one.

If you zip/print/scan/ocr/train ML on/restore from ML its still piracy even though none of the pixels are directly transferred.

The ML one seems to not be piracy from a legal POV.

Like distributing photocopies of a book in braille
