And now watch everyone cheer for Sony and Warner to succeed in their lawsuits to extend the grip of copyright. What a timeline.

Nah, people are not THAT stupid.

A while back I saw a thread in a piracy community that was cheering some other lawsuit against an AI company for similar reasons, so I wouldn't bet. The anti-AI sentiment is quite strong in these parts.

They’re not going to walk back copyright law so I’ll take these rapacious AI companies being held a little closer to the same standard that we are.

Why not? These laws exist the make the rich more money; if the interests of the rich people trying to make money change it's very possible for the law to change to match that.

We are talking about “Property” - the core foundation of Capitalism. The holy grail of exploitation. Everything in this manufactured belief-system must have an owner and a price, and that price can only be forced upon others with ‘property-rights’ + top-down force (acab’s).
So, just about everything in our sick western fascist/oligarch societies is centered around ‘Property’ and the ideological right and moral duty to maximise profits from that property -> extortion.
The balance might shift slightly/temporarily if a huge cnt are fighting other huge cnt’s, but will NOT go away as long as Capitalism is the sole driver of western societies. Maximum property-rights are the steaming turd every Capitalist cnt are eating/craving.
More infighting is imho better as it slows down this pscho ideology…
You lost all reasonable people at “acab’s”. No one will ever meaningfully rally behind your movement as long as you spread braindead takes like these. It’s poisonous for the left to be affiliated with you.
