There's so much more at stake, it's not remotely the same as pirating. AI is poised to take over any kind of job that requires only a computer and a telephone. I'd rather have robust open source options that a handful of companies exerting a subscription tax on half the economy.

Any overt legislation will only hurt us the consumer while 99.9% of the actual artists and contributers won't see any benefit whatsoever.

Short of aggressively nationalizing any kind of AI endeavour, making it as free and accessible as possible is the best option imo.
