I didn't have a problem with it when it was Aaron Swartz, not sure why I should have a problem with it when others do it.

Aaron Swartz never did whatever it was he was going to do. He was caught and hounded to death before that.

But he was working with scientific papers— the outputs of public institutions— and his likely goal was releasing them to the public. What proprietary AI companies have done in training LLMs on every book in existence is nothing like that.
