I was thinking the same thing reading that.

If this argument is extrapolated, why should streaming services get the rights to copyrighted works? It sounds like a lot of work.

Hell, why would Pirate Bay be any different than Anthropic in this case? Millions of pieces of copyrighted work, being used as intake rather than sold.

Pirate Bay didn't even host content, they merely acted as a tracker for others participating in the actual file sharing. No doubt, Anthropic and the rest are sitting upon petabytes of illegally acquired media.
