Every AI company has flagrantly violated copyright, to begin with.

But that's not the point!

The point is that the laws are written by the oligarchs, for the oligarchs.

Laws are made to protect wealth and power, so of course the wealthy and powerful haven't "broken" them.

A flagrant violation requires clearly established jurisprudence. What is considered fair use has always been nebulous, and to the extent that there are standards on it, it's mainly through established precedence, of which there is none on AI training.

One can argue that the closest thing to an AI's training on a book is a person reading a book and remembering the details, which i'm sure you reject, but it's not prima facie unreasonable.

This is genuinely so funny to me.

Five years ago this site was ready to burn you at the stake if you defended copyright laws, which clearly were only written to protect the rich and powerful, like Disney!

Now those laws are obviously there to defend the little guy against the oligarchs, and we should ready our pitchforks to march on Silicon Valley for daring to violate our precious copyright laws!!
