I have this great business idea. I only need to be allowed to enslave people against their will to save on those pesky wages.

I could make a lot of money too if I could use copyrighted shit for free.

Ok... Is that supposed to be a good reason?
Copyright is a pain in the ass, but Sam Altman is a bigger pain in the ass. Send him to prison and let him rot. Then put his tears in a cup and I'll drink them
I'll just be happy when we never have to see that guy's face in the news again.
Does anyone else hear that? Its the worlds smallest AI violin playing the saddest song composed by an AI

I mean, which law? If Altman was selling shrooms or some blow that hasn't been stepped on a dozen times, I might be willing to cut him some slack. At least that wouldn't add a few million tonnes of carbon to the atmosphere.
The law they're breaking is civil, so they can only get sued; this is basically Napster. Also this case is is Britain, so RICO doesn't apply.

It is impossible for my turnip soup business to make money if you enforce laws that make it illegal for me to steal turnips.
Paying for turnips is not realistic.
