      “Allowing the rich and powerful to get around copyright is good, actually, because it means copyright MAY someday go away”

          Don’t forget the current supreme court motto though: “rules for thee but not for me”. Only massive and rich corporations will be allowed around copyright rules, but you and I and indie and open source will be held to the letter of the law.

      You’re right about the regulation but I’m not so sure about the copyright exemptions. All in all, you’d think he’s more likely to side with property owners - especially the heirs of media empires - over progress.

      Problem is it is used to clean out copyleft too. Copyleft is a social good version of copyright. Using AI to wash it away, along with authorship, is not ok. Lots of open source wouldn’t have taken over if it wasn’t for stickiness of copyleft breaking “the tragedy of the commons”.
