I keep thinking it misguiding to say that training an LLM (or similar) on copyrighted work is a violation. It seems to me that the violation is in the *use* of the "model" to create infringing works. And the rulings' reasoning, that I've read, seems to be on the *use* being the justification for finding the violation.

Like, memorizing someone else's song is not a violation. Performing it for others, in a way that completes with the original, is the violation.
