neiman, I cheer for #piracy because I don't think the modern IP or patent laws were made to protect me.
I use art that might belong to a big company - I get suspended. OpenAI and others steal everyone's IP, and there's nothing done to them, besides maybe a slap on the wrist or a small fine they don't care for.
Someone patent an algorithm I published? There's not much I can do. I can't sue them in the US, not logically and not money-wise.
