    Then it should be treated as what it is, an illegal venture based off of theft. I don’t get a legal pass to steal just because the groceries I stole got cooked into a meal and are therefore no longer the groceries I stole.

      Firstly copyright infringement is not theft. It’s not theft because the grocer still has the groceries. It is a lesser crime which obviously hurts the victim less if at all in some cases.

      A summary is also not copyright infringement, it’s fair use. Of course copyright holders would love to copyright strike bad reviews (they already do even though it’s not illegal).
