Cool. If OpenAI gets a pass, then piracy should be legal, right? I mean what good is a trademark or copyright law?
Edit: "I can't make money without stealing other people's work" is definitely a take
No, see, piracy is just you downloading movies for yourself. To be like OpenAI you need to download it, put it in a pretty package with a bow, then sell it over and over again. Only when it’s piracy for profit do you get to beg and plead for a pass.
But I'm an aspiring artist, without pirating thousands of movies and TV shows, I'll never make my 'highly profitable' magnum opus!
I'm an aspiring dead beat, with out food to provide basic biochemical energy I'll never beat any dead.
You skipped a crucial step: first you gotta raise a few hundred million in VC funding from Silicon Valley bigwigs!
So if I download a movie and use a voice changer to change all the dialog to sound like the donkey from Shrek, I should be good.
When you get this to work, hit me up for some venture capital.
For profit that you can kick back a chunk of as campaign donations
"I can't be at financial peace if I have to pay for every movie I want to watch"
You're not repackaging and selling it on for profit tho. That's different and thus illegal because reasons
