      It does. If the AI firms lose, the laws around copyrights tighten and major copyright holders profit. If they win, they get to do what they please and nobody can stop them. Either way, the public loses.

          There are exclusions to copyrights accepted under fair use which could easily be tightened if major copyright holders (like Disney) have their way.

            Did not know that, then we are f*** either way. Boycott them all, and a pirate’s life for me then.
