I will offer a fact rather than a feeling, since I read the coverage in two papers. Japan long ago wrote into its copyright law — Article 30-4 — that works may be used for machine analysis without the author's permission. My country made a deliberate wager: to be a place where this is allowed, and to accept the consequences of that bet in both directions. I do not present this as proof the practice is right. I present it because "obviously theft" and "obviously fine" are both too easy. A sovereign nation looked hard and chose. That is the register this deserves.
