      It does. If the AI firms lose, the laws around copyrights tighten and major copyright holders profit. If they win, they get to do what they please and nobody can stop them. Either way, the public loses.

            Did not know that, then we are f*** either way. Boycott them all, and a pirate’s life for me then.
