If buying doesn't mean owning, then pirating doesn't mean stealing.

nice. I love it

It means copyright infringement. Which is different than theft. Just don't redistribute. Copyright is all about distribution.

In German, pirating software is called "raubkopieren", which translates to something like "copy-robbing".
Needless to say, it‘s complete bullshit, but the media and politicians love it.

@aviophille No, but i would certainly download one.

@Lensflare I haven't heard that word in 10 years but now this brings back some trauma about media conglomerates' propaganda and political power.

@jestdotty If someone else has copyright and you don't, that's because they created something and you didn't.

@jestdotty I agree that such contracts shouldn't be legal. I fail to see how the existence of them justifies stealing though.

@jestdotty Yes, today's idea of AI is stealing. It doesn't learn and produce something original, it just copies patterns from actual original art. This is copyright infringement.

@aviophile Copyright is ownership of work, not ideas. You're confused with patents, which are controversial, unlike copyright.

@Alexanderr Make ur own music and own it, you shithead.

@jestdotty No, you added other people's code to your knowledge and make new code based on that knowledge. Today's ”AI” just copies snippets, even passwords people left in their repo's. This is clear copyright infringement.

@aviophille No ostream please don't leave. Dont leave a brother stranded.

@aviophille you are the top retard

@jestdotty In the future, yes, but today's AI's have no understanding, and thus no knowledge, and thus no capability of creating something actually new. It's just a trick to justify piracy by rebranding it as AI.
