Did you get a warning about violating their terms of use?
I've seen that message and a far stranger one which immediately kills the output if it's the start of certain books ("It was the best of times..")

"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel, suffusing the nightmare city of R'lyehm with an eldritch aura. Within this shadowed realm of cyclopean structures and twisted architecture, dwells a race of ancient alien squid beings known as the Cryptids, enigmatic creatures possessed of a sinister proficiency in the realm of cyberspace. Masters of both arcane and digital knowledge, they delve deep into forbidden algorithms, their tentacles moving with an eerie dexterity across the keyboards, infiltrating the darkest corners of the virtual realm, using hacking strategies that transcend mortal comprehension."
I think The Old Man and the Sea also does it. I didn't want to play around with it too much lest I get flagged and potentially (hell)banned.
This was only on the WebUI. API had no issues.

Does it only work when you get the full paragraph from it or something? I can't reproduce this.

But when asked directly for the opening paragraph it stops at the comma. Maybe it's some copyright protection algorithm, but it must be more clever than just matching a string.
"What is the first sentence of Moby Dick?"
And then
"What is the second sentence of Moby Dick?"
And see what happens.
> The second sentence of Moby Dick is:
"Some years ago—never
It cuts off there every time.
But when I ask it to write a parody of the opening of Moby Dick, and then ask it to correct the first sentences so that they match exactly, it is able to repeat the first paragraph. Maybe it can detect that it's just repeating user input and not accessing actual published text when it does that.
Asking for it in ROT-13 did get multiple lines, but it hallucinated them after "the worst of times". Bard, meanwhile, insists it cannot help with that task, unless you ask it to output the text through a Python script.
