Not at all. > The giant tech corporations love copyright infringement because it gives more power to them [...] I agree. One of the problems I have with the AI training situation is that corporations appear to be able to avoid complying with the onerous copyright regime they themselves created/support but demand individuals still adhere to it. If they're not prepared to limit themselves to training data currently licensable to them or in the public domain maybe they shouldn't have supported copyright term extension/enforcement and/or work to ensure more works enter the public domain earlier.
