    “AI bad” overrides “Piracy ok”, though. I’ve seen threads in the main piracy community where the general consensus seemed to be that copyright should be used as a weapon against AI.

        Because piracy advocacy here on the Fediverse is about that, yeah. You’re saying the same thing I am, that the Fediverse’s pro-piracy bias is “overridden” by its anti-AI bias.

            Yes, exactly what I’m saying. People on the Fediverse hate AI more than they support piracy, because when there’s a situation that involves both enabling piracy and helping AI they will side with the anti-piracy side in order to hurt the AI side. The Fediverse has more of an anti-AI bias than it has a pro-piracy bias.

                It sounds to me like you’re just saying why your support for piracy is limited in this case. You’re saying “piracy’s okay, but not when those companies use it for those reasons.”

                Having rules about who is “allowed” to copy stuff and for what reasons is, in a nutshell, copyright law.

                    The original comment I’m responding to listed two biases of the Fediverse’s population:

                    • AI bad
                    • Piracy ok

                    All that I’m saying - and that you are, as far as I can tell, agreeing with - is that in the situation where “piracy ok” and “AI bad” overlap the “AI bad” bias prevails. People who were cheering piracy moments earlier stop and go “no, not like that.”

                    As far as I can see, you’re saying the same thing. You’re just trying to justify why you’re saying “no, not like that.” Which is not relevant to the basic point I was making.
