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...

    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.

    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".
