The truth is that copyright and licenses cannot be used to avoid abuses per se. They need to be defended in court, and I'm quite sure copyright laws will change, but you know that such laws vary from country to country, so the problem was there before and will be there in the future as well. In the past, changes in law always followed changes in technology. I see no signs of something better for the future.

@gisgeek@floss.social @sjn@chaos.social The truth is that copyright and licenses cannot be used to avoid abuses per se. They need to be defended in court And when creators try to do that, we're told that the law can't be enforced because it would destroy the AI industry. They had the money to buy ebooks for training, but they chose to pirate the books instead. Then, having been caught in a clear case of copyright infringement, they're trying to avoid any consequences.
