    This would be more like buying a van halen album, learning eddies style, writing and recording my own van halen style songs and selling those. Still an infringement?

      Well, your example isn’t quite right because these companies didn’t buy the data originally.

      I’d say it’s more like when somebody samples a song without permission and uses it in their own music. If we wanna go even further, I’d say the AI companies we have today are basically making and selling synthesizers created off of samples used without permission. The AI don’t learn the way we do, they simply regurgitate what they think is correct based on the probability they get from an algorithm derived from their training set.
