Fuck off Ars Technica.
Fuck off Jon Bodkin.
They didn't do 'piracy', they're just training an LLM to be better at categorizing music.
You idiots need to stop baselessly hating totally legit and legally valid and ethical ways to use data and LLMs; get with the program, embrace the future.
You need to stop needlessly stifling innovative, up and coming market disruptors, who are going to be the powerhouses of the new economy.

Sure seems like piracy is functionally legal if you just have enough money to either pay the fine or run out the clock of the legal system, which thus makes it an acceptable cost of doing business, which thus makes the framing of 'piracy' nothing but libellous slander against an entrepreneur.
(bonus points for anyone who can figure out which parts of this need a /s and which don't!)
