  Copying isn’t theft, the original still exists. Just like watching pirated movies.

    If someone pirates a movie for home use its no big deal because yes. If someone pirates a movie and then opens a movie theatre and starts charging people to watch the movie that’s an entirely different matter. AI is a business generating income, not a person skipping out on a $4 rental fee.

    The AI industry doesn’t want to abolish or reform copyright law, they just want an exception so that they can keep appropriating shit. On the contrary, they’re pretty mad that AI stuff isn’t covered by more copyright.

    AI bros are not on the side of open culture.

    Shit take when the results are used for profit. Most of us that pirate aren’t legally monetizing our stash.

    As long as people get punished for pirating media, corporations need to license their shit just as well.
