It seems we've come full circle with "copying is not theft"... I have to admit I'm really not against the technology in general, but the people who are currently in control of it are all just the absolute worst people who are the least deserving of control over such a thing.

Is it hypocritical to think there should be rules for corporations that dont apply to real people? Like why is it the other way around and I can go to jail or get a fine for sharing the wrong files but some company does it and they just say its for the "common good" and they "couldnt make money if they had to follow the laws" and they get a fucking pass?

Yeah, I've been a pirate for so long I have zero moral grounds to be against using copyrighted stuff for free...

Except I'm not burning a small nations' worth of energy to download a NoFX album and I'm not recreating that album and selling it to people when they ask for a copy of Heavy Petting Zoo (I'm just giving them the real songs). So, moral high ground regained?

On the other hand, now I can download all the music I want because I'm training an AI. (Code still under development).
