I have trouble taking piracy enforcement seriously from any company involved in AI tech.

Piracy is only ok if you do it on a big enough scale

Seems a bit sensationalised but they’re only targeting companies selling pirated copies which sounds about right I guess? Your average user who does this isn’t gonna be affected.

Fuck any criminal treatment for civil copyright whining, but moreover:

All the more reason to use Linux and OnlyOffice or LibreOffice

OnlyOffice is an enemy of free software.

I would recommend LibreOffice for local use and NextCloud collabora for hosted.
