So, hypothetically speaking, if I pirate a bunch of stuff and I get caught, I can claim I used it to train an AI model and all charges are dropped? (According to his statement, not current applicable laws)

I needed to pirate that extensive game, movie, and porn library to train a gaming, movie, and porn recomendation model

Of course not, the rules are for thee.

Theres a common misconception that downloading data is illegal when it's generally sharing is what gets you in trouble. There are very few people who get fined for piracy downloads around the world.

I believe it's mostly illegal for both parties, but in practice less often enforced for the downloading party, as this enforcement would require too much resources for the enforcing side.

To give concrete examples, downloading pirated material is illegal in both the U.S and in Sweden, and afaik the latter is on par with the rest of the EU.
