Soo, if I read a book without asking the author first, he can sue me for reading the book?
Yes, apparently we do. It’s like there’s a correct way of reading a book, and if you read that book to improve your English you are doing it wrong
This is going to be interesting. We’ll end up having to sign an EULA before reading soon…
While I appreciate thinking of this in absurdity, you’re being disingenuous here. It’s like reading a book for a person with eidetic memory then asking for “writing in the style of so and so.” And so you use exactly the sentence structure, the verbiage and even the paragraph style. When inspected, you perfectly reproduced the writing style, but effectively only changed a couple words to match the request.
You reproduced 95% of an essay, and 5% of it is yours. You didn’t improve on the work, you simply changed the least amount of it you could to suit your purpose.
