    So the training of their AI on content without permission was theft?

    yes.

    Last year, they argued the opposite.

    Doesn’t matter what they said last year.

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

    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.

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