It's even less worthy of sympathy - like a counterfeit piece of art being counterfeited. And there isn't even an original, just like a made up counterfeit.

That's not how rights work, though. I'm sure you don't want your rights to be conditional on the sympathy of others.

It’s still debatable if training a computer neutral network on public data is 'wrong' when we very much accept it as a right for biological neural networks.
