"We can't do this legally, so we should be allowed to ignore the law."

If you can't build a model while respecting licenses, don't build a model.

I don't want copyright to exist, at any duration, and I certainly think it should be much shorter than it is. However, as long as it exists, AI should not get any exception to it; such an exception inherently privileges massive entities over small entities or individuals.

If you can't do something which looks reasonable within the laws, it means that the laws have to change.

I don't see how building such a model of historical documents would impact authors (which most of them are dead anyways).
