Cool. If OpenAI gets a pass, then piracy should be legal, right? I mean what good is a trademark or copyright law?

Edit: "I can't make money without stealing other people's work" is definitely a take

No, see, piracy is just you downloading movies for yourself. To be like OpenAI you need to download it, put it in a pretty package with a bow, then sell it over and over again. Only when it’s piracy for profit do you get to beg and plead for a pass.

So if I download a movie and use a voice changer to change all the dialog to sound like the donkey from Shrek, I should be good.

When you get this to work, hit me up for some venture capital.
