It's not stealing when corpos do it.
Meta torrented their training data from the pirate bay. Hell, Spotify initially built their catalog from pirated music. They all do this shit. Corporations are built to steal our shit and sell it back to us. This isn't any different from pumping oil out of pubic lands and selling it back to us.
this sounds really painful lol
wish meta had torrented all the viruses, too, would be fun to read the news of "facebook and instagram are offline as meta suffers from cyberattack"
