  1. I wasn't wrong but i should have qualified it. There are instances where companies have pirated art, but the majority is stuff you can freely access online. I agree that they shouldn't have the pirated art that was behind pay walls. What they do with it isn't the problem there, it is that they have it. I should have said that the pirating of art isn't fundamental to the process and really probably was due to overzealous people tasked with finding data to train on and who, like most of us, grew up in the Naptster/limewire era.
