> Except, of course, no one has actually been robbed, the culture has not been stolen - it's still there

It's actually not there. See how many websites have now closed doors or ceased to operate because of constantly being hammered and bombarded by robotic scrapers. For others, it made websites that turned a small profit into unsustainable money pits.

Sure, their content might now be ingested into an LLM training set sitting somewhere on proprietary servers. But the site itself (the origin of truth) now does not exist.

So no. It actually isn't there. Resting on this falsehood, the rest of your retort makes not much sense.
