Also if you don't know:
What's a closed species?
Some furries got their head up their ass and think that they invented a species therefore they can control it and monopolise the art around it, including selling "exclusive" fursonas. The theory is they created it so no one else can draw it or have a character based on it.
(Rich furries will pay a fortune and a half for these fursonas and the exclusive "rights" to a closed species, even though the rights are pretty much meaningless; enough assholes in the community will harass you for using a closed species, that's the enforcement mechanism)
Yes. That's really what it is. It really is THAT fucking stupid.

Big AI companies will be dead in like a year or two. Big content? That will continue to be around. They aren't going anywhere. Companies abusing copyright to destroy retrogaming? Not going anywhere. Shitty people abusing copyright to suppress genuine creative expression? They're definitely not going anywhere. Copyright perpetuating surveillance? Also an evil we must put a stop to. So you can tell me "AI companies are more harmful" but in terms of the long-term harm to society I would say the entire intellectual property industry has collectively done more harm and will continue to do more harm unless we take their right to oppress the masses away.
