The current copyright system is clearly broken. Copyright itself is not a natural right but a construct that was created relatively recently to incentivize innovation within society. Currently, we still want to train models using copyrighted materials. What we don’t want, however, is for companies to use these materials without giving back, especially to the content creators themselves, such as book authors, publishers, Stack Overflow answer writers, and Stack Overflow as a platform. We need to find a way to properly compensate these contributors to keep book writing, answer writing, and other creative efforts going, preferably while keeping the content publicly accessible. In the future, I hope we can figure out a model that might draw inspiration from music streaming (though perhaps not exactly like it).
