  • As a leftist, this puzzles me. Copyright has always only protected those who have the means to sue people. And it is a fundamental commodification of things that are not commodities by nature. So the left should be and has been critical of copyright.

    Panic over people losing their jobs, no viable alternatives and frankly, misunderstandings of AI technology has sparked a leftist anti-AI wave that has utilized pro-copyright rhetoric.
