r/NoStupidQuestions: why is piracy a crime for me but not for AI companies?
A blunt public-opinion read on AI and copyright, with a few useful corrections in the replies.
A poster asked why pirating a movie is a crime while AI companies can use the whole internet for profit. The top answer (about 3,600 upvotes): AI companies have billions of dollars to fight legal battles. Other replies note that a California court found Anthropic infringed copyright by downloading works without authorization, leading to a settlement paid per work.
