It doesn’t seem like anyone is moving topics here. Where do you see the topic being moved?

"His own hardware" != "his own copy of the data"

My entire comment was that the entire issue is about data ownership. Doesn't even matter if you have a copy of the data.

It matters how that copy was obtained.

There's no reason to then discuss if your usage violates the terms of a license if you obtained the data illegally. You're already in the illegal territory lol.

Having data != legally having obtained data
