IMO, we may get anther AI winter if things blow out legally.

If we continue to run into issues with AI and copywrite laws maybe copywrite laws are the issue. Maybe our broken system is keeping us held back.

I'm sure that Wine decelopers would be thrilled to be allowed to use leaked Windows code. I have a funny feeling that Microsoft may object.

Those with the power want to keep the power. The pattern is consistent be it Microsoft, Paramount or John Grisham.

Now the question is, how do we abolish antiquated copywrite laws while also ensuring people are adequately compensated for what they create?

Off the top, Microsoft and Paramount don't create. They're not people. They shouldn't be in the conversation and they have no rights (yes I know not reality but I believe this). John Grisham has a leg to stand on.

I don't know what the solution is. I merely know the current solutions we have in place don't work but we continue to use them because those in power are benefitting from it.
