I know nuance takes the fun out of most online discussions, but there's a qualitative difference between a bunch of college kids downloading mp3's on a torrent site and a $500 billion company who's goal among other things is to become the primary access point to all things digital.

Should young adults be allowed to violate copyright and no one else? The damages caused seem far worse than an LLM being able to reproduce song lyrics.

Is it simply "we like college kids" and "we hate OpenAI"? that dictates this?

I'm ready, hit me with the nuance.

A young adult who pirates, is also more likely to make purchases in that industry, and has an impact that is limited.

A corporation who pirates, is more likely to pirate en masse everything that they can get their hands on, in an ongoing manner, and throw everything they can at contesting their right to do so in court.

This is neither true nor relevant.

Maybe individuals and corporations are differents enough copyright should not work the same way.

What damages? You can learn lyrics by listening the song.

Sometimes, sometimes not.
