    Stealing, without the quotation marks. If you copy something and profit off it without crediting, compensating or asking permission to who paid for it, it’s stealing. We can’t downplay it as “but they just downloaded 700k hours of videos and 200k pirated books for training a simple model that they’re charging users $20 a month, what’s the issue”

    If you copy something for personal enjoyment without profiting from it, then it’s not stealing.
