    Indeed.

    Possession of a copyrighted work should never be considered infringement. The fact that a book is floating around in a mind must not be considered infringement no matter how it got into that mind, nor whether that mind is biological or artificially constructed.

    Until that work comes back out of that mind in substantially identical form as to how it went in, it cannot be considered copyright infringement.
