Actually, I feel a bit dirty about this. Literal decades of file sharing built huge archives that they have used to build their monsters, and also contributing to things like Wikipedia and open source software. Everything good and counterculture we did is now being monetized and used to boil the oceans.

Information should be free. Don’t feel bad because someone abused something good towards a bad end.

The problem here isn’t archives, it’s “AI” and the people behind it.
