Honestly it feels more like setting up a lemonade stand along a marathon route that goes right through our collective vegetable gardens. LLMs are on a quest to scrape and steal as much as they can with near complete impunity. I know two wrongs don’t make a right, but these ethical concerns seem a bit mis-calibrated.

Well, I can go along with your analogy, and say that yeah, I'd be annoyed at the owner of the lemonade stand. Those marathon runners are trampling all my vegetables, and you're just trying to make a quick buck selling lemonade? People (me included) are annoyed at LLM creators scraping the web and gobbling up all copyrighted material, but it's mis-calibrated to get annoyed at Anna's Archive performing some sort of digital selling of stolen goods?

That’s a solid point. I guess profiteering probably isn’t the best impulse.
