Thanks to everyone that has replied, all fair points. When you use (read, view, listen to…) copyrighted material you’re subject to the licensing rules, no matter if it’s free (as in beer) or not.
This means that quoting more than what’s considered fair use is a violation of the license, for instance. In practice a human would not be able to quote exactly a 1000 words document just on the first read but “AI” can, thus infringing one of the licensing clauses.
Some licensing on copyrighted material is also explicitly forbidding to use the full content by automated systems (once they were web crawlers for search engines)
Basically all these possibilities or actual licensing infringements would require a negotiation between the involved parties.
I’m using a selfhosted pastebin (microbin) as sometimes I want to transfer text, other files… It’s very efficient and in my instance it’s using 13MB of RAM, which is fairly lightweight for modern standards
