That's a good litmus test. If asking/paying artists to train your AI destroys your business model, maybe you're the arsehole. ;)

Not only that, but their business model doesn't hold up if they were required to provide their model weights for free because the material that went into it was "free".

There's also an argument that if the business was that reliant on free things to start with, then it shouldn't be a business.

No-one would bat their eyes if the CEO of a real estate company was sobbing that it's the end of the rental market, because the company is no longer allowed to get houses for free.
