So you don't think downloading something from The Pirate Bay constitutes copyright infringement provided you don't republish it?

Precisely. The person sharing is the one breaking the law.

  • I just want to confirm this, you believe that when OpenAI and their agents post copyright material that they did not pay for verbatim it is breaking the law?

  • You are wrong then. Confidently wrong.

    U.S.: Downloading = infringement. If prosecuted, usually gets civil lawsuits/fines, not jail.

    E.U.: Same — both downloading/hosting illegal, but hosts get cracked down harder.
