Meta, X, and ChatGPT have all automated mass piracy of art, music, articles, and anything their genAI touches. Surely you mean to start there?

Its only illegal when peasants do it, not when billionaires do it. *
*it being anything.

They want to lock down file sharing so no one else can use the data to build AI now that they have it

This. Totally this. Illicit recording of live broadcast radio performances of black jazz and blues artists in the 20’s and 30’s was how the major labels got their coffers large enough to start to change laws to protect them from others doing what they did to those original musicians.
The copyright enforcement laws came into place once they’d established themselves by breaking copyrights.
Utter cunts.
