In the US these are federal crimes (though I believe some of them shouldn't be), and to the best of my understanding this is similar in the UK and many other European countries. Yet, no one is filing a complaint or being questioned over this.

1. We should repeal anti-circumvention laws 2. OpenAI should reimburse the affected parties for wasted resources

Don't think anyone (especially a community run project like RubyGems) is keen to go up against OpenAI's bottomless legal resources in a test case.

Should obviously be a federal case not a civil one.
