This would be poetic, but not gonna happen. It will be legal for big corps but not you and me



You know, I actually don't think so. Gabe Newell famously said piracy is a distribution problem, so a court would likely have to acknowledge inadequate distribution methods hampering AI development. This gives great precedence for consumer piracy, especially for old media that isn't sold anymore. It may not be a criminal offence if best efforts aren't being made by the original copyright holders to distribute.


Their argument will be that piracy only applies to humans IMO. They're just doing what Google has been allowed to do for decades.
