The title is not a rhetorical question, and I’m not going to bury an answer. I don’t have an answer. This post is my exploration of the question, and why I think it is a question.

    Yes, because private property is theft. But unequal enforcement of copyright law is worse. Right now, LLMs are just lying machines trained on pirated data and the companies that run them are acting with impunity for doing something a normal person would get put in jail for.

    Copyright is immoral, but as long as it exists, the laws should be extra strict on companies that steal others’ works.
