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?
sure, and that something is that copyright and intellectual property is capitalist nonsense. nobody “owns” ideas, and the only ethical issue with AI is that nothing should ever be sold, whether it’s made with AI or not.

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”.
