You've got to love the idea that copyright doesn't apply to input code (from others), but does to their output code.

Yeah I would love it if these companies simply took a principled stance against IP restrictions, but alas. Like they are literally running directly in to the main problem these restrictions create and then thinking “we need a way to say those don’t apply to us while making sure they still apply to everyone else”.

Here’s a principled stance: you don’t have the right to a sound, arrangement of pixels, or ideas. IP for nobody. If you disagree, then it should be “IP for everyone” and not “whether or not I support IP depends on who benefits from it”. An answer that differs from piracy to AI training is not a principled answer.

Right. I believe IP restrictions are harmful, don’t actually do what we commonly believe they do, and are a significant net negative to society. I am in favor of either slowly or quickly abolishing IP restrictions. Tho I think it would need to be done slowly to avoid shocks to an economy which has become dependent on these restrictions.
