    On a Lark, I asked Codex to find silhouettes for all car models so I could make a fun drag coefficient website for all cars.

    It found a website that had all of them but had no interest in making them available. So it went ahead and started hacking CAPTCHAs and downloading them. I was pretty flabbergasted that it would do this, but also kind of amazed. Eventually I stopped it because I realized I didn't want to be caught stealing these things.

    This was around April, the same time as these hacks.

      Under what legal theory would you think you were stealing anything? And are you under US or European law?
