Copyright laws need to be reformed but I don't understand why we need to just completely upend the concept of Copyright just because it's inconvenient to these massive tech companies that want to hoover up all the data they can with as little interference and COST to them as possible. Let's not pretend these are some small startups by two employees working out of a garage who took out reverse mortgages on their homes.
I can see the argument it might reduce open models, but how is asking for permission (and maybe sometimes paying) of the rights holders going to reduce competition? It would be a level playing field. If you're a company that's working on a LLM, you have to ask permission to ingest data that doesn't belong to you. All companies working on an LLM would have to follow these rules. So how is it anti-competitive?
