Why is the argument "well it's fine when a human does it". It's not a human, or a living being, or even concious. It's software operating in our social plane (language) owned by a bunch of yahoos in the bay. They are lining their pockets reselling ideas from books they burned..not sure they should be given the same grace a lone individual reading Adobe's source code line by line.
It’s technology built, funded, and used by humans, so of course it’s fine to me. The rest just reads as a the usual political rant against the rich, which I simply couldn’t care less about if I tried.
Wait. If I build and fund a video streaming site that captures Netflix shows and lets everyone watch them for free, that's illegal and I'll go to jail. But if someone with a trillion dollars scrapes my code and incorporates it into a product they're selling access to, that's fine?
