Does copyright law no longer exist?

It absolutely does, and will be used and enforced by those who want to protect their IP. Within the existing frameworks.

Let's no go down the rabbit hole of "since it's easier now, we need new laws..." to make new laws and regulations about what AI coding can and can't do when the existing copyright laws work perfectly well.

edit: Want to decomp/recomp a game and modify it and change it so you have more fun? Go right ahead. Have a blast. Want to then publish that? You don't have the right to republish their materials without permission. If you do, the owner can run the math of how much it damages them to decide if they pursue it. We don't need the AI generator to police that for us.

considering how AI models were/are created, not really, no.

OpenAI/Anthropic et al killed it

Copyright is not really criminal law, so companies have to sue people and it's relatively easy to be anonymous enough on the internet for that threat model, and you can't successfully sue someone if you don't know who they are.

Yeah, piracy is doing better than ever. FMHY shows the entire ecosystem—it's huge: https://fmhy.net/

This will be taken down though if Rockstar tries to because dot coms are not DMCA resistant.

At the end of the day, copyright is trying to constrain information which is not easy on the internet.

I don't understand how it hasn't been taken down yet.

Not since cell division started.
