I dislike copyright when it protects corporations.
I think copyright is good when it prevents individuals from getting exploited by corporations.

Long before AI, people on the Internet were fairly likely to dislike copyright and correctly insist that copying is not theft.
How the times have changed.

Been pirating books for a while. And in doing so, found a few authors I really like, so I ended up preordering some of their books and even recommending them to friends. AI doesn’t ever preorder their books, and will probably not recommend them to random people without being paid to advertise by the author. Which is why the argument of, “I pirate, so what’s the difference if AI does it?” kinda falls flat in my mind.

you know how people pirating music did very little to hurt music sales, but how spotify has lowered the income of most of the world’s musicians?
it’s like that.

Stealing from rich person = good Stealing from poor person= bad
Robin hood has been a thing for centuries

I fail to see the relevance because both AI companies and other Internet users certainly sometimes (arguably) infringe copyrights held by rich people and sometimes those held by poor people.
