What makes you think copyright law doesn't apply to companies using copy written data to sell and profit off of? That is not the case. Also, you're putting words in my mouth. Feel free to read my other replies on this thread but I don't feel like repeating myself, but I think it's clear I'm not saying computers aren't allowed to process data that's absurd.
Because that's not what copyright is for. It exists to give the creator exclusive rights over distribution. That's it. So unless the company is planning to distribute the work and they obtained a copy willingly and legally distributed to them, then copyright is the wrong law to lean on.
