Firstly I don’t see that, secondly so what? If they have a legitimate grievance, that grievance doesn’t go away if they have other concerns as well.

But if that’s a legitimate concern, the fact that it might severely hamper these models is the right outcome. If these companies want to use copyrighted works to train them, maybe they should need to license it.
