I hear you on IP law, but how it applies to AI training is far from settled.

I don't believe we should have software patents, and I am highly skeptical of the US copyright system in general.

As for why I didn't use a piracy analogy: humans don't need to pirate books to access them for free. They can just go to the library. That is exactly my point. Reading books isn't a crime. Why would we stop an AI from reading publicly available material just because it's automated and upsets the commercial status quo?
