I wonder when general internet sentiment moved from pro-piracy to IP maximalism. Fascinating shift.

AI has made people lose their minds and principles. It's fascinating to observe.

In the meantime, I will continue to dislike copyright regardless of the parties involved.

I think most people have lost their minds over the hypocrisy. For decades people have been raked over the coals for piracy, but now suddenly piracy is okay if your name is Facebook and you're building an AI model.

Either force AI companies to compensate the artists they're being "inspired" by, or let people torrent a copywashed Toy Story 5.
