I am legitimately surprised that these companies aren’t throwing lobbyists out there to eliminate IP laws to account for this. It’s almost like many of the companies which rely on IP laws to make profit are also those which have to break them to save money by replacing jobs with AI…
More likely they’ll just start bribing CEOs of big IP holders to look the other way. There’s already too much lobbying interest in keeping IP laws draconian.
They don’t need to. In sarcastic words of Cory Doctorow, it is OK because it’s through the app.
Illegal unregulated hotels? It’s OK because it’s through the app. Illegal taxis? It’s OK because it’s through the app. Plagiarism and IP violations? It’s OK because it’s through the app.
They didn’t need to. Copyright enforcement was unequal enough that it only applies to regular people. Facebook downloading illegal torrents doesn’t count for some reason.
