@rcx Amazing how that works. I've noticed a similar situation with companies that steal wages from employees. Maybe they pay a fine. Jail is never considered.

But corporations are given all the rights of people, in accordance with the Citizens United decision…why don't they have any of the same responsibilities and legal liabilities as people?

I know I'm crossing streams a little here, but something needs to change.

70 GB of academic articles from JSTOR (only 0.0854% of what Meta took) and faced $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison. Unable to bear the situation, he took his own life in 2013. #FreeKnowledge #JusticeForAaronSwartz #OpenAccess #AIandEthics #FairCompensation

It just came out that Meta downloaded via Torrent over 80 terabytes of books taken from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-Library to train their AI models, and nobody is guilty. In contrast, in 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded just 70 GB of academic articles from JSTOR (only 0.0854% of what Meta took) and faced $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison. Unable to bear the situation, he took his own life in 2013.
