If your point is that we already have more than enough music than needed, isn’t that an indication that current copyright laws don’t need to be nearly as strong

  While this may be true, there is a middle ground between 'copyright lasts for the heat death of the Universe plus seventy years' and 'everything is stolen by robots the instant it's created'.

    What we may have here is a need for some new use cases in copyright. The current laws were written with humans in mind -- human creators, human consumers. To retroactively say, "well, you released this to the [human] public under U.S. copyright law, therefore the rights you granted to humans extend to training AI systems as well" could be unfair.

  every now and then I like to point out that not every country has the same understanding as to the purposes of copyright as the U.S, in fact this whole promotion thing seems to be a specifically American argument (although obviously not familiar with every country in the world so many some other countries also have this conception and I'm not familiar with it - maybe some countries that based their national laws on the U.S for example) on edit: I just realized that of course British copyright law is also very similar to the American model.
