    It’s not the same thing at all. People here are sharing things they purchased and love, which actually promotes further sales down the road.

    Meta, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and all other companies that are highly invested in generative AIs are appropriating copyrighted content, often destroying originals, modifying it to fit their agendas and selling access to their versions for a monthly subscription, while at the same time damaging other industries and the planet. THAT is much closer to piracy and has no generous intent at all.

      Also they are stealing it for monetary gain vs stealing for fun and entertainment. I dont think there were many “pirates for fun”

        You could read a little about copyright law in different countries to find out how commercial and non-commercial use of copyrighted content works in each one. And if you feel like it and find a bit of spare time after that, come back here and read the comments again. That is if by then you feel qualified to understand them.
