Generic piracy is for example distributing a commercial unmodified video with full attribution. You don't normally create a derivative work.
Plagiarism is training on generously licensed open source software and creating a derivative work without attribution.
Not all hackers were in favor of piracy, the majority of open source hackers have always been pretty protective of their licenses, which were written before the existence of the laundromats.
Taking all IP and using it against its creators is entirely new and does not match the piracy issues.
Yeah the corporate bootlicking around all of this is weird. We’ve hated patent trolls and Disney’s abuse/corruption of the copyright system and record label lawsuits, but suddenly intellectual property is great?
