A for profit company is using copyrighted material it doesn’t own to build a product. People at home recording TV shows for later viewing is not the same. Using VCR recordings of copyrighted material to turn a profit is still a crime.
From a moral point of view, maybe. But laws are mostly written by those same for profit companies, and those laws are what will decide the case. Courts already ruled that LLM works are transformative, not copies.
