    It doesn’t matter. The law needs to pick one and be consistent.

    If you want my personal opinion, I’ve been against a lot of copyright law most of my life, but I’m beginning to rethink that with this so called AI. I think we need strong protections against commercial infringement while maintaining strong personal fair use. The details of course are complex.

      That would essentially be a position in favor of prosecuting Aaron Swartz

        No. Aaron did not distribute any of the work, settled in a civil suit and was prosecuted later.

        Copyright was not the problem there.
