The fundamental premise of copyright is flawed. Taking medieval concepts involving censorship of the printing press and extending them to the 21st century is bound to produce awkward results. I'm not hopeful that copyrights will be reconsidered from the ground up during this AI shock, but at least we shouldn't pretend that any arguments about copyrights should be reasonable and make sense. I honestly believe a "realpolitik" approach is more helpful, at least we know that those with more political influence and spend more effort lobbying will probably "win" in the end...
