    I don’t know if it’s different in the US, but here the downloading isn’t punished, it’s the sharing that gets you in trouble.

      Our government allows ludicrous control to rights holders. I don’t own any copies of movies, for example, even discs. Disney owns the physical discs. I just have them in my home. I own the right to play the discs in certain ways. I’ll bet policies will be updated to clarify that Disney doesn’t approve of, “training AI”.

      But it’s the same here. If you aren’t actively doing anything that upsets rights holders, they’ll leave you alone.
