I think it is a good thing to undermine copyright by creating various carve-outs that will eventually make it untenable to maintain, which is probably one of the faster ways to reform the obsolete system.
Piracy doesn't care about borders, and if US firms don't do it, Chinese firms will. It is a national competitiveness issue in that sense, which is the easiest argument to get the government to do things to weaken copyright.
Laying the groundworks for the eventual defeat of MAFIAA is a great benefit to society if it happens, and in my opinion outweighs the nonexistent "damage" they did. There wouldn't be llama if they didn't pirate the books, and the authors won't get paid anything either. Bonus points if we can get rid of DRM anti-circumvention as well.
For what it's worth Facebook doesn't seem to be doing the regulatory capture part, unlike "Open"AI and Anthropic.
