It’s a shame that 6 years ago, lemmy would have agreed with you. They forgot that copyright is bad suddenly because of a new invention. Copyright needs to be abolished, it’s a hold over from pre-capitalism.
most people who “pirate” aren’t doing it for a massive profit, unlike these AI companies. it’s morally reprehensible that AI companies are taking other people’s work, often copyrighted, and selling their stolen data for a massive profit. if fuckerberg can pirate TERABYTES of ebooks, my downloading of some movies should not be illegal.

But surely something has to be said for taking ones work, repackaging it, claiming it’s yours, and selling it as a product, no?
Point being that I think just calling it “piracy” seems a bit reductive…

I agree, you downloading some movies should not be illegal, especially if they are more than a few years old.
That it is illegal doesnt make training a network theft, nothing was taken away from anyone. Other than their expections of rental income from “IP”.
