DO IT. I Love it. Let's see this go somewhere.

"I can download 'illegally' but if I don't redistribute it's not illegal".

I want to see where this goes.

If nothing else, If I just claim it was to train an AI model is it all of a sudden not illegal? That would be interesting. Since you could just ask the model to create a perfect reconstruction of what it was trained on.

From the post:

>Just because Meta admitted to torrenting a dataset of pirated books for AI training purposes, that doesn't necessarily mean that Meta seeded the file after downloading it, the social media company claimed in a court filing (PDF) this week. Evidence instead shows that Meta "took precautions not to 'seed' any downloaded files," Meta's filing said. Seeding refers to sharing a torrented file after the download completes, and because there's allegedly no proof of such "seeding," Meta insisted that authors cannot prove Meta shared the pirated books with anyone during the torrenting process.

Yeah, that is basically what I was getting at. This would throw out decades worth of "criminal cases" and "law" if it sees the light of day.
