These companies are scraping the internet to train their models. Scraping the internet isn't bad; we scrape the internet constantly for all kinds of data. The free and open exchange of knowledge is what the internet is for. IMO you can't steal text, audio, or video that someone already put up on the internet to be looked at or listened to. It can be pirated or it can be scraped.
"When a new technology comes along that breaks copyright, it's always been copyright that must change, not the technology." - Cory Doctorow
I highly recommend Cory's now 20-year-old speech on copyright and DRM. You can find it all over the web.
