I stopped believing in DMCA/DRM/Copyright legality when big tech can use pirated content for their AI training and not pay a cent for it because the judge said "Is fair use" or whatever

In some countries it's only illegal to distribute. Downloading is perfectly legal.

Issue is, AI can and has "distributed" that which it pirated, sometimes verbatim, when asked by someone using said model.
