But piracy is illegal

It's different when they do it.

Well it would be great if more of their models were 'freeware' too.

Microsoft just loves to have their cake, eat it... and not share it.

So this argument can be used in cases of piracy? "Your honor, I was simply using this copyrighted movie to train my llm, not to watch illegally."

I agree with Microsoft for once. I get all my online content on the open web of TPB. It's freeware, if you like. It is the understanding.

Rules for thee, but not for me - just as always

Only when the model is also freeware, IMHO.

I agree looking forward to your whitelisting of the piratebay in ur search engines and the modification of the llms you have invested in helping with such activities.

At the rate of sites changing their policies, that might end up being true
