I'm so hyped about machine-generated output from copyrighted data being fine. "No, your honor. I did not pirate a copyrighted film. I distributed a machine-generated re-encoding of a film that is a close approximation but not not the original copyrighted film. As you can see, you honor, the copyright information was stripped, therefore it's fine."

“Your honor, BitTorrent is an AI neural network now. Therefore these movies and games I’ve downloaded over it are recreations by an AI and therefore are no longer subject to copyright in any jurisdiction.”
