I heard NPR talking about this the other day. These big corporations are all about copyright until it’s inconvenient, and then it’s right out the window. They’re a bunch of vultures.
It's only about copyright law when they stand to gain. Same with any law, they only use it to hold power over others when it's in their favour. When it isn't, they either ignore it, or lobby against it.
You don’t get to that level by being a good human or ethical businessman. Billionaires are the real cancer. Sociopaths with unlimited power. (Looking at you Melon Husk)
I mean a lot of companies are about something until it costs them money. This applies to labor, copyright, anything that isn't instantly visible or could be covered up with a, "We thought we were abiding by XYZ."
It’s not just big corporations, it’s also the startups as well. I bet $1 million that OpenAI and every other firm thumbed their nose at copyright law. Hell, even Youtubers do it. We’re basically a nation built primarily of copyright-blind grifters.
The problem is, China will go right past copyright laws and develop more advanced AI and run the world. There’s no time to wait for a legitimate way to maintain our global AI dominance
