Considering the likelihood of Moonshot being able to collect a judgement for violating these terms in an American court is basically zero, and the relative ease of finding the weights without the licensing agreement, "have to pay" seems very generous.

Why? Americans are always yapping how China growth is basically fueled by IP theft, are you saying that it works both ways?

Overusing a piece of software in violation of a TOS/license agreement is radically different than employing human agents to conduct on-the-ground corporate espionage.
Which only _they_ do. And _we_ don't.

After all, _their_ AI is just trained on stolen IP, right? Unlike _ours_?

I still can't get over how irresponsible it is of _them_ to release these weights for free. That means _anyone_ could gain access to their AI model now.

At least _we_ make sure access to _ours_ is fully controlled by _us_.

Most enterprises capable of running that much gear won't take that risk even if it is unenforceable. Oracle has made a great living threatening audits of companies who download its updates.
Yeah, but only Western companies who might have to defend themselves in court. I have no doubt that pirated copies of Oracle DB and the JDK are frequently used in China.
That defense won't work in court.
