Does anybody doubt that this is a reasonable concern? The Feds would probably throw the book at those guys for every form of IP theft, "conspiracy to commit economic espionage," "theft of trade secrets," and you can't ever forget the ubiquitous "wire fraud."
If I were any of the Deepseek guys, the furthest I'd go on vacation would be Thailand or Mongolia. Even Japan would seem dangerous.
Meanwhile the folks at Meta/Anthropic/OpenAI are totally in the clear, lol. They can scrape libgen, but it's no big deal, don't worry about it.

I often say states behave as mafias. It is a matter of becoming influential enough so that they treat you as a criminal. In the meantime, the streets every day less and less safe, at least in Europe, bc of real criminals, the ones that kill or systematically steal even in organized crime and they do very little about it.

In the European countries that I've bothered to look, crime statistics are actually down. It's just the perception of crime that is up. Think about who might benefit from creating this kind of misleading perception.
