But what happens when Musk decides the law doesn't apply to him...

The law will adapt, same as it adapted for OpenAI/Anthropic when they started doing piracy to train their LLMs

Nvidia started funding piracy sites too; https://torrentfreak.com/nvidia-contacted-annas-archive-to-s...

If you are billionaire+ it's "legal", and if not at least financially worth it + almost never punishment on management.

If you are worth xx'000 you personally go to jail, you get into very big troubles, and get ruined.

No? The law is just the law. But until someone actually gets a judge to rule that what they did is illegal...

Do you actually look at the current US landscape and think “the law is just the law” for the rich and poor alike?

Getting a judge to rule on something is also part of that “the law is just the law” and it’s obvious that judges are more willing to rule on cases for the poor and powerless than the rich and connected.

The point I was trying to make was that whether or not something is illegal is typically decided by a judge.

Most of the things corporations do aren't as clear cut as a traffic violation. So in those cases, you only know if something is illegal when it's made it through the courts

Buying a 30M USD mansion to the daughter of the judge is going to fix that.
