Comment on The Truth about AI and copyright that nobody will say out loud

Comments

At least in the part I can read there's a lot of truth, except maybe about what an LLM can output. It's correct about original, legal purpose for copyright. But the trend for the last 30-odd years has been away from "temporary monopoly to encourage a larger public domain" and towards "owning ideas in order to create economic rents".

This article reeks of the privilege of having made a pile on owning ideas, but now that interpretation of copyright hinders making a bigger pile of money you small copyright holders must suck it up and let me use your content.

That is, this is hypocritical.
