>What about text books, in order to train on a textbook, I have to pay a licensing fee.

Would that also apply if you bought the text books second-hand (or were given it)?



First sale doctrine applies in those cases. That is original buyer can transfer the license that is sell the book.

With AIs I think it is clear it would fall under some other limitations like you cannot broadcast CD over radio. And with movies not start movie theatre and play movies without paying creators...
