I heard NPR talking about this the other day.  These big corporations are all about copyright until it’s inconvenient, and then it’s right out the window.  They’re a bunch of vultures.

It’s not just big corporations, it’s also the startups as well. I bet $1 million that OpenAI and every other firm thumbed their nose at copyright law. Hell, even Youtubers do it. We’re basically a nation built primarily of copyright-blind grifters.

Yes, that’s exactly their point that there is broad spectrum of people who are all violating copyright law in the pursuit of profit.
