If it was as easy as giving it a nice name, you could just rename seed boxes to fair use machines.

It’s a finicky legal topic, because transformative can be anything and nothing. If you take an album and shuffle the tracks or create a mixtape from multiple albums, that is technically transformative, but most likely not enough to justify fair use.

That one was a reissue of the original GameCube controller with the original connector and everything. It works on the original GameCube and Wii and with the USB adapter that was released with it, you can use it or any other GameCube controller on the WiiU, Switch and maybe even Switch 2.

This new controller looks like a GameCube controller, but is something entirely new. It is a modern wireless controller that mimics the GameCube controller shape and button layout but won’t work on the original GameCube, at least not without some additional adapter hardware

By that logic it would be legal to pirate anything as long as you do so to write a review. Because then you download it to create some transformative product, protected under fair use.

Or better idea: someone should write a tool so that anyone can publish an AI based on their pirated library thus turning it into fair use
