But hey, torrenting everything in the world is only an issue if you do it WITHOUT monetary interests. If you do pirate stuff for financial gains it is totally fine apparently (see e.g. Meta, OpenAI, Antropic, ...)
It's really fascinating how in technical context it's always "AI is just another piece of software" but then when the same kind of AI enthusiasts talk about policy they think they're above the law and can just do whatever they want tbh...
If I'm not allowed to just up- and download research papers, norms, standards, movies, songs, songtexts, books ... for free from e.g. Annas Archive or The Pirate Bay then so should all of the AI companies...
But hey, if you change the laws I too will be downloading all of Anna's Archive "to train my AI" of course. Not to read it myself or to provide it to others except for them to also "train their AI".
It's just a clown show. You can't be against piracy when normal people do it but pro-piracy when companies do it for financial gains.
