>the people who were all against copyright previously became ardent supporters of it overnight.
Oh, no, no. You misunderstand my friend. I might loosely be called one of those who was anti-copyright, but turn my desire to see it's draconian enforcement cranked up to 11 on corporations. I believe fundamental reform is necessary, however, if you're running a for profit enterprise, and have not in good faith with the laws of of the land, which let's be clear, AI companies absolutely haven't; there is no mercy deserved. If a grandma or teen can get saddled with life ruining punitive damages for something as innocent as filesharing, then these companies should not exist in any way shape or form in a functioning justice system as currently configured. That they do illustrates the woeful state of our State.
Things need to change.
