Of course it did. All of these AI companies scraped absolutely everything they could to make the biggest training corpuses they could. Quality, morality, legality be damned. The potential fines will never meaningfully dent the profits.
Maybe 1PB more of pirated content will finally get us to AGI ;p
I agreed with you right up to the point you think ai companies have profits. 😅
They ripped off everyone and disregarded all ownership rights and cant even make a profit from what they did, just erode the potential for every creative content maker to create profit.
I'll settle for a wholesale rewrite of copyright law, where copyright lasts less than 20 years, can only ever be held by natural people i.e. the human beings that did the creating, not employers, companies or other entities that just use copyright to profit without credit or reward to the creators, and where copyright can only be transferred once (e.g. inheritance)
imagine a videogame with copyright held by all the staff, not the company. It would not be possible for the company to abuse for profit for 100 years.
The role of copyright would become valuable only to solo people or small creative groups. Not enormous undertakings like movies or videogames. It would still be possible to copyright a script in the name of the writers but not exclusively with the backers, investora or employers that make no creative contribution.

That's what I'm hoping will lead to not only their downfall, but dissolution should we manage to get a progressive enough government in place.

A person can dream anyway....
Suno is a remixer not a generator and any artist they scraped should get paid
