And, if we are getting rich, then it is okay to break the law while actively fucking over actually creative people. Trust us. We are tech bros and we know what is best for you is for us to become incredibly rich and out of touch. You need us.
You’re correct that their piracy was on a much more egregious scale than what Aaron did, but they don’t openly admit to their piracy. Meta just argued that it isn’t piracy because they didn’t seed.
Edit: to be clear. I don’t think that Aaron Swartz did anything wrong. Unlike the chatGPT, meta, etc.
