    Oh not only are you caught torrenting everything on the internet, but you’re also a leech? Talk about a piece of shit.

    Also if this holds, piracy is legal. We’ll just all switch to Usenet where you don’t need to seed!

    So not only was this multi-billion dollar, fortune 100 company too stingy to pay for training data, it was too stingy to reseed the data it pirated!

    Either seed or don’t torrent. Don’t be a leech.

        Kiddo, you OK? You keep making thought out, reasonable, definitely-not-shitpost comments. If you’re taking a break from it, turning a new leaf, I’ll support you kid. Your mum and I care about you, we just want to see you thrive, and be the best you can be at whatever you turn your hand to.

        Couldn’t help the deep-cut joke. Keep this behaviour up and I’ll have to change your user tag 🤣❤️

    It IS legal to download stuff if you don’t seed where I live. But it’s still not legal to create derived works and then claim copyright on those works.

      It’s probably a cost-benefit calculation. Go after a mega-corp and they’ll drag it through the courts for decades and do their best to waste every penny you have. Nail the person who’s crippled, on disability, cannot afford to pay for subscriptions to view or use something, it’ll be way cheaper, and now you’re the Law and Justice people.

      Thinking about it, that’s literally just a long winded way of saying exactly the same thing, but I feel that context matters a bit.

    Nothing’s illegal if you don’t get caught, LOL!

    In Canada that is the law but making it publicly available through a chat bot would still be illegal
