I guess I’m just trying to be a little generous. They probably know it’s a risk and either rationalize it away with something along the lines of “well, it’s such a tiny minuscule piece from so many different people that it’s not really stealing“ or just pretend they don’t know. At this point the ignorance does seem willful. Either way, I’m more just curious what other people have to say on the matter as I am not as knowledgeable of subject. I am on the creator side and it’s all bad news over here.

"A bunch of little bits of different things" isn't stealing, it's society and culture. If you got your wish of everything I create if fully copyrighted, you'd find two things. One, that you're last in line and don't come up with original ideas often, even in original artwork. And two, that monied corporations would quickly buy up rights to everything and make life as an artist completely impossible.

  I'm not even sure that's what is happening to be honest, I'm just speculating as to how somehow could reason it away for themselves. I don't know what the line is for "too much inspiration" where it becomes stealing. I'll make sure to check that out though, appreciate it!

Your choice to be generous is a kind and good one. I don't have great insight into copyright issues, but as one who loves music and used to play a lot of it, I'm right there with you on the "it's all bad news over here". It seems to me that the current crop of art generators ape styles but don't come up with their own. I worry that if they put most human artists out of work, the arts will stagnate badly. I guess we'll see.
