It's even more absurd now when the big AI companies train their LLMs on torrented books.

Don't you know that it's okay to steal IP (and skirt laws in general) when you're a big company with lots of money?

One torrent is a crime, breaking all the laws by downloading terabytes of books and processing them is a trillion dollar business.

The torrenting was the only thing they were found to have done wrong, which makes sense.
