Comment on “Piracy is Piracy” – Disney and Universal team up to sue Midjourney
jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 week agoYes. Piracy in the sense of stealing from ships in international waters is different from piracy in the sense of copyright infringement. Thanks for that.

I didn’t mean to suggest that. I consider calling copyright infringement “piracy” to be propaganda started by the music industry to push their monetary interests. A derogatory term that conflates it will immoral stealing (and murder on boats), which way overstates any harms caused.
