When Aaron Schwartz was in trouble for downloading copyrighted articles everyone was on the side of "copyright laws are dumb and need to be changed".
Now it's more popular to hate on AI and so now people want to see strict adherence to copyright law.
It Mmkes it seem like people lack real convictions on the issue and are just being led around by memes.
Copyright law is terribly implemented and needs to change. This isn't new and doesn't become less true because your favorite memes want you to dunk on AI.
Copyright laws are dumb and need to be changed.
And I also think that the laws that currently exist should apply to openAI. I don't see any contradiction there.
The current system where regular people can get screwed over for torrenting movies but techno-oligarch wannabes are free to ignore the law is the absolute worst of both worlds.
