    Training is transformative use.

    If you write a song by pulling words out of a hat, all that matters is whether the result violates copyright. If you somehow reproduce “I’m Looking Through You,” Paul McCartney’s not gonna sue the hat. He’s gonna sue you. If the same words fall in a new order - it doesn’t matter that you snipped them out of the liner notes for Rubber Soul. There’s nothing to sue for.
