    No it isn’t theft. It’s copyright infringement, which is decidedly not theft.

    Copyright infringement is theft.

          Show the law then, because theft has requirements that copyright infringement doesn’t accomplish.

            I’m not talking about a specific law… In example by law training Ai by content without your consent is not theft. But yet, we know it is theft.

            What law are you talking about?

              Copyright infringement is copyright infringement.

              Theft is theft.

              These things are not the same regardless of how you feel about them. No country treats copyright infringement as theft, and no country treats theft as copyright infringement. They are legally different things with different requirements.

              Copyright infringement can potentially feel like theft, but it still isn’t, because it does not meet the legal criteria for theft.

              These are legal terms, they are not based on how you feel.
