Training data should be open. Time to abolish copyright.
Using any data for the purposes of training neural net and publishing data that was used for this purpose should be exempted from copyright protections. If you want beef with people consuming your content without license you should go after them individually or after people who sell them your content. But hands off the modern engine of progress.
The entire reason for copyright was to promote progress. The moment it becomes obstacle it should go away. No one is entitled to their legacy business model.

So I cannot use some data, but I can use some algorithms to regurgitate the same data. Great progress.
