Don't worry, should it ever happen, there's plenty of wannabe Napoleons who would be willing to step in to take over once theyre gone :)

The problem is, if they're afraid they have the resources to do something about it. That much wealth can buy a lot of private armies. It also buys a lot of lobbyists.
It takes more thought and planning then reacting with emotion against them. That feeds their goals just fine.
"Don't hate the companies, hate the people who lobbied for copyright laws... the companies!"
That's a pretty popular opinion, actually.
I prefer Stardew Valley
Everything is 99% grey area. If someone tells you something is completely black and white you should be suspicious of their motives.
But you didn't say you had proof with your comment, you said it was probable. Basically saying its common sense that its proven.
Why are you getting aggressive about actually having to provide proof about something when saying its obvious?
Also, that seems to imply that locking up people for AI offenses would then encourage truly reprehensible behavior by linking them with those who already engage in it.
Almost like lumping people together as one big group, instead of having levels of grey area, means people are more likely to just go all in instead of sticking to something more morally defensible.
So... its just a claim they're making and you're hoping it has actual backing.
Is everything completely black and white for you?
The system isn't perfect, especially where we prioritize punishing people over rehabilitation. Would you rather punish everyone equally, emphasizing that if people are going to risk the legal implications (which, based on legal systems the world over, people are going to do) they might as well just go for the real thing anyways?
You don't have to accept it as morally acceptable, but you don't have to treat them as completely equivalent either.
There's gradations of questionable activity. Especially when there's no real victims involved. Treating everything exactly the same is, frankly speaking, insane. Its like having one punishment for all illegal behavior. Murder someone? Death penalty. Rob them? Straight to the electric chair. Jaywalking? Better believe you're getting the needle.
As opposed to private Healthcare where they're guaranteed to screw you over.
Poorly organized socialized healthcare, sure.

It takes emotion to make rash decisions based on reactionary feelings.
If you only do things because it feels right instead of what you've thought through and understood as a rational course if action... you're doing the same thing as those who storm capital buildings cause an orange man told them to.
