The US copyright office wrote up a pretty large paper pointing out it's piracy.

Violation of copyright/piracy :P Among many many many other crimes. I'll take the word of the US copyright office who says that it is not fair use over your word.

We are not a court of law. We can see crimes happening and call them crimes. If you think that ignoring evidence is fine, that's up to you. I personally like to look at the evidence and make conclusions, like these crimes AI companies are doing, are crimes. Did the AI companies think about for 30 seconds about how doing crimes looks like doing crimes?

So in order to counter my point, you make a false equivalence. Cool. Try again.

you need schooling, this is like people who shout that others are breaking the first amendment not thinking that it only applies to the government. Courts determine if it's a crime to a certain degree of certainty for the government, we are not the government. We are people who can use our eyes to see that people break the laws and have not been sued yet. it's not magically not a crime if they aren't sued over it.

Do we need to have a court case to say that all of the criminals in the files are criminals? of course not. We can see their actions, and the laws and say that they committed many many crimes.

Same way we always do? look at what happened, and see that a crime happened

That is a very stupid argument. everything can be represented as a group of numbers.

What is "the tool", GenAI or ML. If you mean GenAI, then, no, GenAI is the problem

What court case did I bring up?

They are crimes, they stole their data, and the ones people can run locally still are a part of those crime rings. Plus the ones that can run locally aren't very good, not that the larger ones are too great either
