It’s not the same thing at all. People here are sharing things they purchased and love, which actually promotes further sales down the road.
Meta, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and all other companies that are highly invested in generative AIs are appropriating copyrighted content, often destroying originals, modifying it to fit their agendas and selling access to their versions for a monthly subscription, while at the same time damaging other industries and the planet. THAT is much closer to piracy and has no generous intent at all.
If they win, doesn’t that set a precedent for piracy in general? Ironically they might make piracy harder to prosecute.
I’d hope, but basically they are only protecting downloading, for the most part 99% of piracy prosecution has already shifted focus to uploading, and really the focus is far more on the companies hosting etc… because they learned in the napster era that suing grandmothers and children doesn’t really win the PR wars.
Its only bad once it takes the form of Communism/socialism.
Lol.
Its only bad once it takes the form of Communism/socialism for the masses.
FTFY
These corporate assholes love socialism when it helps them, just not when it helps anyone else
