That’s a good thing. If your “entire industry” is built upon scraping intellectual property without permission and generating plagiarized slop, then it doesn’t deserve to exist.

Statutory damages for copyright are $10,000 per infringement. Every time a piece of protected content is copied without permission, even from one computer to another, that’s an infringement. Every time they make a derivative work without license that’s one, too. Damages: MANY billions.

Jammie Thomas had to pay $220,000 for pirating 24 songs. That’s over $9,000 per song How many books did the AI industry pirate? Doesn’t a book feel worth more than a song? If justice exists, these authors will all become millionaires

It can't even afford to provide the service that people pay for. The losers who pay for and use the highest level subscription use it at a rate that costs these companies more than the fees they charge. The industry is funded by pure hype from rich idiots
