Ten years ago, did you believe in "copyright violation"? Did you really?

It's fine to dislike AI, it's fine to even dislike AI and not be able to articulate a reason, but I'm tired of hackers suddenly becoming the biggest defenders of IP.

The biggest component is missing here: money and power. 10 years ago, the biggest defenders of IP law were using the law to make billions in profit. They aggressively prosecuted The Little Guy and ruined lives.

Today, the defenders and abusers of IP have flipped but the money and power imbalance have remained the same. Highlighting how IP law is ignored today is highlighting the hypocrisy and double standards. It's not any special love for copyright. And the number of people being hurt is enormous.
