    Downloading isn’t stealing

    Plagiarism is.

    And let’s be perfectly clear: we’ve heard from megacorporations for decades now that downloading is theft. But suddenly it isn’t now that they benefit from it? Fuck that. When Lars Ulrich himself emerges from his greasy crust and admits that downloading isn’t theft, then maybe - maybe we can talk about AI scraping everyone’s hard work not being theft. Until then, you have the entire public domain to use, just like everyone else. If you don’t think that’s enough, then maybe the megacorps shouldn’t have spent most of a century robbing humanity of a robust public domain.
