But there's been such utterly blatant breaches of law that's in court as we speak, and commentary from leaders that I'm inclined to say it's poisoned the well. No differently from cryptocurrency and nfts. It's pretty much the default.
>Just that 2025 is way too early.
never too early to stop nor prevent theft. if you want to grab stuff with reckless abandon, address copyright law first. They also made and reinforced those laws decades ago, after all.
>We may end up with another cookie law, or DSA nightmare.
Okay. Me not clicking an extra pop up (because extensions take care of it for me) because companies want loopholes isn't the deterrent that makes me not want to slow down this theft.
>Why should AI regulation apply to small companies with less than X customers or Y revenue.
Why should copyright law apply to me torrenting Moana 2? When we can align on this we can move on to AI.
>Does it affect what you can play around with at home?
Roommate is an artist, so it affects him, yes. I work in games and want to go indie, so it will affect me one day. I'm not altruistic here; I'm just another future entrepreneur protecting my assets.
