ThePirateBay vs. Anthropic


Why is it that downloading a movie from Netflix and putting it for free on ThePirateBay is illegal but scraping someone’s work to train the AI models and then selling them for a fee is legal?

What’s the difference?

This is not an appropriate venue for the question.

If you're ranting, that's not what HN is for.

If you're sincere, better ask a lawyer, or at least a law forum.
