I recently downloaded a number of magazines froma now defunct publication from late eighties. No onesells them and annas archive was the only place i found them. its not exclusivly pirating, its a source for a lot of out of print.
The real crime is an economic system that limits the spread of knowledge and access to other "human rights" by requiring everyone to hustle to survive (and, if possible, increase capital gains for the financial overlords) when we would already be technologically equipped to feed and house well all of mankind, instead of letting thousands of children starve to death each day and restricting access to education so that billions miss out on their intellectual development - a void easily filled with addictive media full of rage and distraction. Pirating books is just a symptom of this wretched system. And it is not enough - RISE, HN! .. towards RBE & beyond..

Ai is dependent on piracy .. and apparently that's fine now.
It's not piracy if you download the books to train your LLM.... Apparently.
