That’s a good framework, and I appreciate you sharing it, because I realise that aligns with how I think about this too — I just hadn’t put it into such succinct words as you just have
I had a couple friends that would burn movies and sell them $5 a pop. they were on my “do not share” list. I did that mostly as a way to distance myself from the “inevitable” criminal charges.
I have always been in both camps.
I have always held to a strict code of, “make no profit”.
I share what I have, and sell nothing. not even at cost.
IP rights are important, but there is zero harm sharing IP freely. it’s no different than watching a movie from a public library.
Once you start selling though, is when you cross a line of profiting off of someone else’s hard work.
AI crossed that line.

Oh I’d never sell stuff like that. I never even thought that was a thing. I guess that’s how we are different from billionaire scum.
