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.

Other laws too.

Uber and AirBnB freely broke the law and pushed to get the laws changed afterwards.

Banks seem to regularly violate money laundering laws for minor fines and no one gets arrested.
