> Would probably have to be done in Russia or some other country that doesn't respect international copyright though. Incredible, several years of major American AI companies showing that flaunting copyright only matters if it's college kids torrenting shows or enthusiasts archiving bootlegs on whatcd, but if it's big corpos doing it it's necessary for innovation. Yet some people still believe "it would have to be done in evil Russia".

OP does have an exaggerated statement - its not like there aren't laws in Russia or something and I largely agree with your sentiment. I think there are levels to this though and its pretty clear that Russia is much riskier than the USA when it comes to IP - just look up anything to do with insuring IP risk in Russia (here's one such example: https://baa.no/en/articles/i-have-ip-in-russia-is-my-ip-at-risk https://baa.no/en/articles/i-have-ip-in-russia-is-my-ip-at-r...) Also according to the office of US trade representative, Russia is on the priority watch list of countries that do not respect IP [1] and post 2022, largely due to the war, Russia implemented measures negatively effecting IP rights. [2,3] If you think it isn't the case and Russia is just as risky as the US when it comes to copyright and IP, I would be interested to know why. 1. https://ustr.gov/about/policy-offices/press-office/press-releases/2025/april/ustr-releases-2025-special-301-report-intellectual-property-protection-and-enforcement#:~:text=Eight%20countries%20are%20on%20the,engagement%20during%20the%20coming%20year. https://ustr.gov/about/policy-offices/press-office/press-rel... 2. https://www.papula-nevinpat.com/executive-summary-the-ip-situation-in-russia-and-ukraine/ https://www.papula-nevinpat.com/executive-summary-the-ip-sit... 3. https://www.taftlaw.com/news-events/law-bulletins/russia-issues-decree-affecting-ip-rights-for-unfriendly-countries/?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://www.taftlaw.com/news-events/law-bulletins/russia-iss...
