    Copyright is bad, but if it exists, it should apply equally to everyone, not just megacorporations.

      That will never happen because it costs resources to pursue infringement.

      Maybe if we eventually reach the stage where AI is basically running all law related issues so everyone can afford it? But if that happens then we’re already in a post-copyright world.

        If I pirate a movie for myself, I have to pay a huge fine. What will happen to Zuck after he pirated all the movies and made money with this?

          Why, though? Many lemmings get away with “piracy” via torrents. Meta is in court over it and may very well lose on this count.
