Usually you can use a maximum of four bars of a piece of music in your composition. This is considered a quote and doesn't violate copyrights.


Wow, 12 bars of 26 notes constitute copyright violation, and I presume monetary damages.

Given that all the hyperscalers, Meta, Google OpenAI, anthropic, etc have all read the entire web for weights, why are the hyperscalers not committing copyright violation on a previously unimaginable scale?
