AI fear is going to be the trojan horse for even harsher and stupider 'intellectual property' laws.
Yeah, they want the right only to protect who copies their work and distributes it to other people, but who's able to actually read and learn from their work.
It's asinine and we should be rolling back copy right, not making it more strict. This 70 year plus the life of the author thing is bullshit.
Since any reductions to copyright, if they occur at all, will take a while to happen, I hope someone comes up with an opt-in limited term copyright. At max, I'd be satisfied with a 45-50 year limited copyright on everything I make, and could see going shorter under plenty of circumstances.
