Hold on, piracy isn’t necessarily not caring about copyright, but can be (and is, in a lot of cases), about fighting against the big corporations who take advantage of historically abusive copyright laws to dominate the market and prevent small authors and companies from surviving.

These AI companies, despite being copyright violators, are much closer to the big IP monopolists than the small authors, which are victims of both groups.

If people were really that principled, they’d totally boycott the big corporations and only consume media from the small authors and companies.

You made a great point. This is exactly my issue with piracy. I believe it’s a movement in the wrong direction, because it actually benefits the big media in the end.
