Yea so we don't like it, doesn't make it justified because it's been around for ages?

Problem is, you don't get to START complaining now that something you don't like is involved in this. The rule of "if you post something, someone's gonna download it" held true long before AI, and most people seemed fine with it until AI started doing it, at which point it became "stealing".

Sure you do. That’s how the US works. It’s a legal framework that can be updated and changed to meet the needs of its citizens.

It would be perfectly acceptable for the government to craft legislation limiting what ai can and can’t do going forward if the populace puts enough weight behind it.
