I think what they are saying is that Meta is powerful enough to get away with it. You are attempting to equate two different things.
Meta isn't using the books for entertainment purposes. They are using another IP to develop their own product. There has to be a distinction here.
We are in agreement, but I was attempting to launch a discussion about how we want the laws to actually be applied and possibly how they should be reformulated.
