    The inevitable follow-up of their OpenAI deal. Make a deal with a big GenAI company to get precedent for them licensing your copyrights, then go against everyone else who doesn’t have such a deal. Now it’s up to see who bribed Trump the most.

      Further proof that copyrights, like patents, only benefit the rich.

      Also, AI-generated material still falls into the monkey selfie legal realm, so they are going to have a helluva time trying to copyright what comes out.
