They aren’t consuming media. They are reselling it.
They aren’t downloading a film to watch or “illegally” accessing a text.
They are using the unpaid labour of other humans as their product and will gouge the rest of society for it through entertainment media, civil infrastructure and healthcare.
Whilst your pithy, cliched statement is fun to throw around when we talk about torrenting a marvel movie, it’s completely useless in this context.
here’s another pithy, cliched statement for you. copyright and intellectual property is capitalist nonsense that should be ignored. ideas can’t be owned. what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is yours. nobody owns any media. the only ethical issue with AI is that nothing should be sold, whether it’s made with AI or not.
the argument you are using enables corporations to steal the work and labour of individuals.
so your problem is with capitalism, and not this fictional “theft” of art.
It is the argument that means only middle class wealthy individuals get to make art.
nobody is stopping anyone from making art.
It’s a shite argument, and it’s been debunked a ton of times.
if that makes you sleep better, then you do you. I don’t really mind if some liberal I’ll never meet wants to claim nonsense that’ll never affect me on the internet. ideas are free, they belong to everyone, and I’ll keep copying and using digital media in whatever way I want.
But surely something has to be said for taking ones work, repackaging it, claiming it’s yours, and selling it as a product, no?
sure, and that something is that copyright and intellectual property is capitalist nonsense. nobody “owns” ideas, and the only ethical issue with AI is that nothing should ever be sold, whether it’s made with AI or not.
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.
piracy isn’t theft.
This isn’t piracy though.

I don’t think pithy means what you think it means.
I know exactly what it means, I was using it sarcastically to make fun of your rather stupid argument.
How’s that working out for you, chief?
… But more sensibly, the argument you are using enables corporations to steal the work and labour of individuals.
It is the argument that means only middle class wealthy individuals get to make art.

it’s working fine. thank you.

Point being that I think just calling it “piracy” seems a bit reductive…

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”.
