    I totally agree. Patents and copyright have their place, but through greed they have been morphed into monstrous abominations that hold back society. I also think that if you build your business on crawled content, society has a right to the result to a fair price. If you cannot provide that without the company failing, then it deserves to fail because the business model obviously was built on exploitation.

      I agree, which is why I advocate for reform, not abolishment.

      Perhaps AI companies should pay a 15% surcharge on their services and that money goes directly into the arts.
