Copyright infringement is not theft, and it is not immoral. It has never been, and it will not start to be, just because a company we don't like is doing it.

All im saying is if the courts determine a business can use copyrighted material to make profit without permission, that seems to set a precedent that makes the high seas legal. Those pirates often arent even profiting off it.

Between all of the AI hype and the AI panic, my biggest concern is that the laws will be so poorly written that simple algorithms like A* will end up illegal and AI in general will be outlawed. We'll have a Butlerian Jihad because a bunch of daffy CEOs simply said their machines will replace humans when they can't. Our children will be forced to drink sapho juice and eat spice so they can work in a server farm made of humans.

I think the question of fair use is separate from the question of piracy, and probably separate from the question of intellectual property in general. Even if we were to protect fair use, that doesn't make it legal to wholesale copy books. Individual piracy from people who can't really afford it is one thing and largely harmless, even a net good. I know people who only started reading books from particular authors because they pirated one copy and bought others. That's very different from a company downloading entire libraries of books without paying. Shifting the question from piracy to fair use is just another way of making you think of the wrong question.

I'd like to live in a world that doesn't gatekeep property. But we live in a world where artists aren't paid for their work directly, and in that world intellectual property is necessary.
