    Cool. If OpenAI gets a pass, then piracy should be legal, right? I mean what good is a trademark or copyright law?

    Edit: “I can’t make money without stealing other people’s work” is definitely a take

      No, see, piracy is just you downloading movies for yourself. To be like OpenAI you need to download it, put it in a pretty package with a bow, then sell it over and over again. Only when it’s piracy for profit do you get to beg and plead for a pass.

      “I can’t be at financial peace if I have to pay for every movie I want to watch”

      You’re not repackaging and selling it on for profit tho. That’s different and thus illegal because reasons
