It's called providing a service. They're just buying access to copyrighted material to use in a different form.

Amazon told the Sunday Times the content it had access to was already on the NHS website. “Amazon does not build customer health profiles based on interactions with nhs.uk content or use such requests for marketing purposes,” it added.
