I'll help. It's like someone copied all of Facebook's code from a pirated source and stood up a competing website that allows users to avoid "paying" for Facebook's services (in the form here of not being served Facebook ads or offering up private information). Maybe in an extreme case the someone might even occasionally call themselves "Facebook" or use its logos.
The problem here is the tech industry sits on throne of riches built by IP law, so it doesn't sit well when suddenly it's "good for thee but not for me." If we're going to cherry pick, how about we walk back to a view that software isn't copyrightable and the copyright term is 34 years?
