    My take is that if we already have to have copyright law, then we should use it as a tool to at least garnish how much value these AI companies get to siphon from actual working artists.

    Further, I’d be suspicious of the motives of anyone reallly rallying against copyright laws right now.

      How about if it’s not for profit, then it is free to copy. Like some kid downloading a movie.

      The kid is never gonna sell that movie.

      If it’s for profit, then you have damages, which is usually what you would show in a civil court. The damages are profit made.

      But you’re still going to have problems with juristdictions where this won’t be enforced. (Like China.)
