Scrapping the Internet is not illegal. All AI companies did much more beyond that, they accessed private writings, private code, copyrighted images. they scanned copyrighted books (and then destroyed them), downloaded terabytes of copyrighted torrents ... etc

So, the message is like piracy is OK when it's done massively by a big company. They're claiming "fair use" and most judges are buying it (or being bought?)
