    Sure, but it’s not just statistics like “30% of lines contain the letter E”. It reproduces the material, sometimes verbatim.

    A model is very obviously a derivative work, as it has 0% original content input. Under fair use law, it also very obviously fails all four tests.

      Reproduction of the material we agree is against the law.

      A model is very obviously a derivative work, as it has 0% original content input. Under fair use law, it also very obviously fails all four tests. Computing the letter frequency has 0% original content input, as well, but is definitely not a derivative work. Do you disagree?
