Great. Which rich person is going to jail for breaking the law?

This isn't a criminal case so zero people of any financial position would end up in prison.

Well their seed funder SBF went to jail, but not for bankrolling this particular theft. He did a theft of his own. Still, SBF and the Anthropic guys got their "ethics" from the same shitty blogs, and it shows.

No one, rich or poor, goes to jail for downloading books.

If I walked into a store and stole $1000 of books I would go to jail. If a tech company steals countless thousands of dollars worth of books, someone should go to jail.

Stealing physical goods is not the same as downloading copyrighted material.

Are you sure? I think in some jurisdictions they would, according to the law.

Swartz wasn’t charged only for downloading copyrighted material, he was also charged with wire fraud and breaking and entering.
