      First people complained about them pirating, now people are complaining about them following copyright. It should be clear at this point that the people complaining don’t really care about either, they just don’t like AI.

        What are you talking about? These companies scanned a copy and destroyed the original on purpose. Any legal claim that the company had to the backup is null and void.
