I think people here enjoy pirated movies, and also want to see AI companies burn. If a copyright lawsuit does the trick, people here wouldn’t mind. It may sound a bit contradictory, but copyright is only seen as a means to an end. That doesn’t mean these people actually support those laws.

Not only that, but mere private use is less of a crime than distribution or distillation through any sane lens. And here we see the exact opposite. Copyright would have a standing in if it treated everyone equal. Yet there are ibfribgers that are too big to be held responsible, strongly suggesting it morphed from a real mechanism of protecting authors’ and artists’ livelihoods to one giving companies a legally blessed racket to run.
