Are You Okay to Violate Copyright Laws for Using AI Software?

The entire world is under the spell of AI.

  • Now, AI is everything to almost everybody in the world.
  • At least, the mainstream news media propagate it that way.

We can't be sure whether the tribal communities named Zoroas in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India also know about AI.
The tribal people in Australia may also fall into this category. As per the news, these tribals refused to take the mandatory vaccines.
Many of us are also cautious about blindly adopting thoroughly untested new technologies and untested medicines.


But AI companies violate copyright laws.

  • It is a truth that AI companies use copyrighted data to train their system.

This is called a violation of copyright laws.

  • Big and small AI companies, including OpenAI, DeepSeek, and others, use copyrighted data for the purpose of AI training.

Suchir Balaji, the engineer behind OpenAI's WebGPT and ChatGPT development, was found dead after the New York Times named Suchir Balaji on Nov 18, 2024, as a "Custodian Witness" of OpenAI's copyright violation of data for AI training!
"Suchir Balaji worked as an engineer for Sam Altman building AI until he decided that Altman was committing crimes. Balaji became a whistleblower and soon after was found dead in his apartment. California authorities claim it was suicide. Crime scene photos clearly show a murder. Balaji's mother, Poornima Ramarao, tells the most shocking story we've heard in a long time." -- News and Video Source: Tucker Carlson tuckercarlson-dot-com

  • The CxOs of these AI companies now plead the popular phrase that they used the data under the "fair use case" policy and not to violate any copyright laws!
  • But will their weak reasoning of "fair use case" spare them from the laws?



Are you okay to violate copyright law?

  • Whovever is using AI software and systems, such as ChatGPT, etc, is indirectly violating the copyright laws.
  • When I and you use ChapGPT, Grok, etc., we are allies with OpenAI, X, etc. in breaking the copyright laws.

This is as simple as that - We are using AI software applications that were built on unauthorized utilization of copyrighted data.

  • Are you (and we) okay to violate copyright laws?
  • Are we (and you) fine to break laws?



Bringing it altogether

  • AI companies have unauthorizedly used copyrighted data for training their AI software systems.
  • OpenAI, DeepSeek, etc., AI companies are guilty of breaking copyright laws!
  • You and I are allies with them to violate copyright laws when we use their AI software applications!

My question is: Are you okay to violate copyright laws?

I do not use either chatgpt or deepseek for my work. I still write code in old way because AI is not smart enough to do my work. So the question is irrelevant for me. However, since I am a GNU supporter I do not believe in copyright but copyleft.

Definitely not ok. But it's hard to know what to do about it as a user of AI.
