Fuck the copyright industry and obviously fuck Google too.
It suits google just fine to eat the fines if it means only 3 companies can legally build models. All the money goes to the peeps that own the copyright companies, everyone is happy except the consumers and creators. We did it guys, we solved the AI crisis.
