This article completely ignores how technology becomes decentralized and open-sourced. There's already a massive community dedicated to creating and sharing LLMs, and that's not going to stop if OpenAI is forced to shut down ChatGPT because of copyright laws. FWIW, shutting down Napster didn't stop music torrenting at all. What really stopped widespread torrenting was easy to use streaming services, which the music industry was forced to adapt to.

The argument is that free sharing of music started by Napster didn’t end up being the predominate model because copyright law resulted in steaming services starting with Apple dominating. So we should be leery of claims about what LLMs will do without considering what the legal ramifications of various lawsuits will lead to.
