    So the training of their AI on content without permission was theft? Last year, they argued the opposite.

    Jokes aside, copyright infringement or license violatipns aren’t theft.

      Doesn’t matter what they said last year.

      It is.

        Theft noun

        the felonious taking and removing of personal property with intent to deprive the rightful owner of it

        Making a copy does not deprive anyone of their property. Therefore it is not theft. That’s why it’s called a “copyright violation” and isn’t treated the same as theft under the law.

            Just want to give you kudos on some fine trolling, you really got a good few people going for a bit.

              That’s the easy way out, just discredit others opinions as trolling, because you do not agree.
