Death to copyright, which has always been far more harmful to small authors and creators than it has even been to large companies.

Odd place to bring this up. This is one of those situations where copyright is doing what it's meant to do.

		The only bad thing about OpenAI and Anthropic training on everyone's stuff without their consent is that they didn't give away the model weights afterwards. The people who espouse copyright abolitionism believe "information wants to be (and should be) free" So no, for these people including myself, Copyright isn't doing anything good at all. It should be abolished. None of the people in this suit should get a dime. The government should force open weight releases of all foundation models as basically the only regulation that applies to the space at this current time.

		But does it, really? A slap on the wrist, that's what it's doing here, isn't it?

Let's have that conversation after the people strip mining the livelihoods of creators cough up for UBI.

No UBI, thanks, let's just make them pay for the works they're relying on (as the rest of us would have to).

		That would be my preference, but if people really want to have free as in beer access to information, we can have that conversation. After these companies give people money for the commons that they're strip mining.
