But you, casual BitTorrent, eDonkey (I like good old things) and such user, can't.
It's literally a law allowing people doing some business violate a right of others, or, looking at that from another side, making only people not working for some companies subject to a law ...
What I mean - at some point in my stupid life I thought only individuals should ever be subjects of law. Where now the sides are the government and some individual, a representative (or a chain of people making decisions) of the government should be a side, not its entirety.
For everything happening a specific person, easy to determine, should be legally responsible. Or a group of people (say, a chain from top to this specific one in a hierarchy).
Because otherwise this happens, the differentiation between a person and a business and so on allows other differentiation kinds, and also a person having fewer rights than a business or some other organization. And it will always drift in that direction, because a group is stronger than an individual.
And in this specific case somebody would be able to sue the prime minister.
OK, it's an utopia, similar to anarcho-capitalism, just in a different dimension, in that of responsibility.
You’re talking about illegally acquiring content, which isn’t the same as training AI off legally acquired/viewed content.
I'm not talking about legally\illegally, I'm talking about rightfully\unrightfully , the difference is in under whose control the category line is.
So you’re talking morally? Sorry but that’s not even worth discussing here.
Who's deciding?
