Another option is that the reader holds the data in an encrypted or obscure 
form, where it is not readily available. Some web readers like Science 
Magazine, go out of their way to make getting the PDF a pain. I suppose it 
comes down to has the deepest bench of lawyers and crisis managers. Open AI 
keeps hiring them.

IDK. That data *is* downloaded in a real sense, even if it's only in /tmp or 
cache for a short amount of time. Is it a "copy" if it's only in /tmp? How long 
can you keep it in your cache before it becomes a "copy"? And I'd also argue 
that when the original document is split/chunked or OCR'ed or whatever, that 
also counts as a reproduction in some sense. The only way it's not a 
reproduction is if one of the 2 conditions obtain 1) the imprint isn't very 
accurate and precise or 2) if the reproduction/execution isn't *distributed* in 
any wide sense. For the 40 year old with an eidetic memory (2) obtains. With a 
broadly executed SotA LLM, neither obtain. E.g. Llama 3 is being run in a lot 
of places. That's distribution. And ChatGPT is free to use for simpler queries. 
That's also distribution.

But I agree, it's not well-understood as plagiarism.
