Funny, their army of lawyers seems incapable of stopping me from easily downloading pirated software or coding an open alternative to their closed-source software with AI if I wanted to..

You cannot keep a purely legally-enforced moat in the face of advancing technology.



I would caution against using this argument.

In the USA the DMCA can make it illegal to even own and use tools meant to bypass even the weakest of protection.

This law has already been used to ruin lives.

"They might catch the individual but not us all" is nice and fine until it is your turn, so check your legislation.
