Copying isn’t theft, and it’s DEFINITELY not theft of labor.

Then again, you already knew this because we’ve been pointing it out to the RIAA and MPAA and the copyright cartels for decades now.

It is my personal opinion that attempts to reframe AI training as criminal are in bad faith, and come from the fact that AI haters have no legitimate basis of damages from which to have any say in the matter about AI training, which harms no one.

Now that it’s a convenient cudgel in the anti-AI ragefest, people have reverted to parroting the MPAA’s ideology from the 2000s. You wouldn’t download a training set!
