Whose rampant IP theft are you referring to?

  Hollywood from Edison... > Thomas Edison's aggressive patent enforcement in the early days of filmmaking, particularly his control over motion picture technology, played a significant role in the development of Hollywood as the center of the film industry. Driven by a desire to control the market and eliminate competition, Edison's lawsuits and business practices pushed independent filmmakers westward, ultimately leading them to establish studios in Los Angeles, away from Edison's legal reach.

  China is the pretty obvious answer in this context.

    Odd. I’d think it’d be all the companies in the US ignoring IP and copyright laws.

        This source provides on-going case numbers for court litigation: https://www.bakerlaw.com/services/artificial-intelligence-ai/case-tracker-artificial-intelligence-copyrights-and-class-actions/ https://www.bakerlaw.com/services/artificial-intelligence-ai... Seems like it would be a definitive list to me as it shows US AI companies getting sued for copyright infringement.

        So you're capable of knowing what the judges will decide on these cases? You've already decided that they are liable for what they're accused of? And, isn't this the system working exactly how it is supposed to? Someone makes a claim and the courts decide, and then some kind of punishment will be doled out of the claim was found to be true?

        You're changing the the topic of conversation, you asked for cases and now you want judgements as well.

        No, I'm not. You made the claim " I’d think it’d be all the companies in the US ignoring IP and copyright laws" - and then point to ongoing cases, where the outcome hasn't even been decided yet. They may be ignoring IP and copyright laws, but no one knows whether they are or aren't yet.

        I'm sure the parties suing the defendants feel very differently than you.
