It's been my suspicion that trying to fight AI corporations on copyright grounds wouldn't be a good strategy, because ultimately what would happen is they'd end up in a situation that just entrenches them and media megacorps as monopolists. And, well... https://deadline.com/2025/12/disney-openai-deal-sora-1236645728/

Add on top of that how centralization of the web has lead to almost all art being published being under a ToS that can sell the data to OpenAI and ultimately indies get squeezed out of the fight.

Quiet public

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber that plus fighting them on copyright grounds leads to copyright maximalism, which fucks over the Commons.
