So you know what? If OpenAI or Anthropic destroys the copyright system, either through an adverse court ruling or getting the laws changed? I won't fucking shed a God damn fucking tear. I will be grumpy because of who did it. I will not object to the result.
That Onion article comes to mind: "Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made a Great Point"

"But we can reform it!" That's like saying we can reform oppression. "We can change it so small content creators can oppress the masses and create petty fiefdoms, yet stop the abuses of the oppressive system by big content" No thanks; it still needs surveillance to work, and I have seen too many small-time content creators use copyright as a big stick to stop things like modding, trying to use copyright to make closed species, etc. (And yes, fuck closed species, it's arrogant bullshit, now you know my stance on that)
