    So when does Kevin Costner get to sue James Cameron for his lazy copy of Dances With Wolves?

      Idk, maybe. There are thousands of copyright infringement lawsuits, sometimes they win.

      I don’t necessarily agree with how copyright law works, but that’s a different question. Doesn’t change the fact that sometimes you can successfully sue for copyright infringement if someone copies your stuff to make something new.

      Why not? Hollywood is full to the brim with people suing for copyright infringement. And sometimes they win. Why should it be different for AI companies?
