That's hilarious it's so strange to see copyright arguments in 2025 when every tech company that mingles in AI just doesn't give a fuck? Why should I care?
AI training is fair use. For pirating books, they probably calculate that the fine will be lower than their profits.
Assuming you're putting videos on YouTube, you should care because they have leverage over you and can ban you.
You seem to imply some kind of moral terms or reasons based on principles but that's not how corporations work. And either way they will get a pass because their stuff is extremely valuable for intelligence agencies and the military.
You say that so confidently as if it's not the subject of a heated controversial debate this very moment.
But I'm generally disinterested in the US style of these debates where it's all about twisting words and creatively interpreting old laws. In functioning countries they just adopt new and clear laws.
Piracy is fair use.
