They ignored the same copyright laws in many other cases. Why do we believe they were abiding strictly by it this time?

What did the law require ?

And since when do AI companies care about copyright law ?

> After the initial transfer of ownership of a legal copy of a copyrighted work, the first-sale doctrine eliminates the copyright holder's right to control ownership of that specific copy.
