Setting aside the very real question of whether AI "learns" the same way we do, it's bad enough we treat corporations as "people" in a legal sense, let's not start extending the same courtesy to software tools.

People have special rights and responsibilities under our legal system - we don't send an airplane that has a mechanical fault to prison for a crash nor do we extend right to life to a web server. Humans have an implicit the right to learn by reading copyrighted material, machines have no such right.
