But yeah, as I've been saying for ages, the people who stop the AI scraping of copyrighted works isn't us, it's the Disneys of the world, via the court system. When the AIs are scraping
Star Wars and Mickey Mouse and stuff, that's when they'll step in. And they're the ones with the clout and the power to actually punch these AI companies. Guess they scraped the wrong thing!
The suit describes the AI companies as "a bottomless pit of plagiarism". They say "Piracy is piracy, and the fact that it's done by an AI company does not make it any less infringing".
It's not just Disney, either. Universal, too.
