Thank you.
I was moderately in the "piracy is stealing" camp until both this shit happened, and EVERYTHING got enshittified.
Fuck em.
I have always been in both camps.
I have always held to a strict code of, "make no profit".
I share what I have, and sell nothing. not even at cost.
IP rights are important, but there is zero harm sharing IP freely. it's no different than watching a movie from a public library.
Once you start selling though, is when you cross a line of profiting off of someone else's hard work.
AI crossed that line.
That's a good framework, and I appreciate you sharing it, because I realise that aligns with how I think about this too — I just hadn't put it into such succinct words as you just have
