But what is not normal is that they will easily block, ban and sue you if you try to do the same, like if the catalog of content was belonging to them.
Libraries don't really "use" books to produce anything, except to support accessibility like translations or indexing. Their lending of books is under the first-sale doctrine, which wouldn't be applicable to YouTube videos streamed under license.

Because they do have rights to the content. All of the content on YouTube has been licensed to YouTube, and the licensor has assigned some rights to them.
Remember when OpenAI's CTO was asked to confirm that they don't use YouTube to train Sora and she evaded the question...?
Everyone is training on everything they can get their hands on, period.
Life is hard, but at least on the other hand, it’s also unfair.
1. if you don't have leverage with your vendors, they will not bend over backwards for you
2. companies are not incentivized to respond to complaints with no revenue at risk (e.g. you're going to use youtube anyway)
The way I understand it, usually either the dealership, the software they take your information in, or both typically sell off your data after the sale.
Also I get calls and letters from places asking to buy a vehicle I haven't owned since 2018 regularly.
Years ago, Google would have been worth more if sold for parts. They were giving away far too much (and pissing on entire industries while doing so). Now they're activating all of those assets for strong, explosive incremental growth. It's hard to even call it incremental. More like checkmate world.
They're going to off so many businesses this decade and collect all the money.
They own the web, they own most of mobile, they control the other half of mobile, they own search, they own media, they own advertising. There's not a dollar that gets made that doesn't flow though Google somehow.
You can't even build a brand anymore without getting extorted by Google. You'll have your competitors paying to trademark squat you, and the browser itself defaults to Google search.
Google really needs to be split into about a half dozen companies. This is way bigger and way worse than Ma Bell.
This streamlines video watching, which humans are notoriously slow at. It could lead to efficiency gains in video and ad watching that are practically unlimited.
Contracting with others to commit fraud and violate contracts is not a good business idea even if you stay off the government's radar.
That's exactly what the parent comment suggested.
