Wait, so they don't need kernal-level access? Ridiculous.

So it's not "of value," because what... It's not new and sexy to you? Sorry that supply and demand is so boring and predictable.
During Trump's last presidency, our intelligence community actually held back a lot of details in his intelligence briefings because we knew he couldn't be trusted to keep his mouth shut.
Imagine doing this, and then doing nothing to stop him from winning again.
Then doing nothing to stop him.
Let's just think about this for a moment... Our own intelligence community could not trust their own commander in chief. Fucking DO SOMETHING THEN.
Buddy, this is econ 100. This applies to nearly every business.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand
If you look at the chart there, the equilibrium price is where the supply line and the demand line cross. Assuming supply remains the same, if demand decreases, the equilibrium price will decrease.
If supply increases, and demand decreases, price goes way down.
Wiki probably explains it better.
I mean maybe technically (I'm sure it varies depending on country). But I'm not aware of any cases where they've ever pursued anyone for that.
It's definitely a grey area in the US, I believe (again, no precedent set), and someone with a good lawyer could actually get a good ruling here, which would set the precedent. Which is probably why they never pursue it. I think that happened with VHS when people were taping shows in the 80s/90s (could be misremembering that).
The concept of "fair use" in general (not referring to specific interpretations of the term) definitely allows you to do this. At least how I interpret it. I am not a lawyer.
So if it were me, I'd only be concerned with the ethics, and I see nothing ethically wrong with it whatsoever. But that's just me.
If you own the physical DVD, fair use allows you to own a backup copy, so torrenting it in that case would not be unethical nor illegal.
Trolling is not a political ideology
No, that's not how it works. You've provided a chart that shows average prices for a specific point in time. That's it. They are constantly fluctuating, and the price is based on supply and demand.
You don't get to charge 3x for an egg just because it's 3x the size. I mean, you can try, but people will not buy it unless that's the equilibrium price. There is no rule stating that price must increase by the same amount as the size of the thing. That's silly.
A thing is worth what people are willing to pay for it. Goose eggs simply aren't as popular as chicken eggs, therefore the demand is lower. Assuming supply remains stable, that means price goes down.
Your time is valuable too. You should be factoring in the amount of additional work required to upkeep.

Genuine question: how many LLMs do we fucking need?
