In this case that’s exactly what we need, someone with more money than god that can set precedents to protect the authors and artists that need it the most.
It doesn’t matter it was the evil empire getting that result
It does if it only benefits evil empires. The open source tools can’t afford the price which only leaves the big AI companies that can and Disney who holds the data.
All this will do is add a fat price tag and censorship. Artists will not get paid and AI will not go away, the jobs will still be lost. It’s the worst of both worlds.

Disney is not going to protect authors and artists.
Correct. If anything, Disney is only fighting somebody else exploiting their employees so they can protect their right to exploit their employees.
American law works on precedents, this will be one

So you really think now that Meta pirated all possible books (and argued they just didn’t seed them) the normal guys will get the same treatment?
Has someone sued Meta for that and has the court given a precedent?
So you’re saying copyright and patent laws only exist to help rich people?
I guess that would make all of the workers defending them ‘useful idiots’ then.
If patents did not exist, many people would be surprised that their medical expenses would be cheaper.
That’s just one side of the coin.
I understand. That being said, my feelings remain mixed.
Paraphrasing Churchill, if AI companies were plagiarizing hell’s works I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil.
