remember guys, it's not pirating, it's gathering date from AI model training purposes. Perfectly legal.

I know you're joking, but what the AI training lawsuits have said so far is that training and digitizing used books that you bought is fair use, but piracy isn't.

For "you" as a natural person. Companies are legally free to download books for free to train AI.

That would be a valid argument if they weren’t redistributing the data verbatim.

"Valid"? In a legal sense? Moral?
