I can see a lot of comments against copyright here, but has anyone considered the implications of changes to copyright on copyleft?

I argue copyleft is demonstrably socially useful in locking things open. I do wonder if we'll end up the two being different legally....

In other news: we have lawyers to protect our copyrights, you don't. Suck it.

"Copying is theft" is the argument of corporations for ages, but if they want our data and information, to integrate into their business, then, suddenly they have the rights to it.

If copying is not theft, then we have the rights to copy their software and AI models, as well, since it is available on the open web.

They got themselves into quite a contradiction.

No we don't, copying copyrighted material is copyright infringement. Which is illegal. that does not make it theft though.
Oversimplifying the issue makes for an uninformed debate.
