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.
