"Arts and entertainment are not luxuries; they are part of the cultural backbone of society. When incentives to create are eroded, everyone loses-including AI companies."
"AI developers ideally should seek permission to use copyrighted works, but the 'move fast and break things' ethos often leads to legal challenges."
"There are now nearly 100 lawsuits in the United States alleging that AI companies unlawfully copied protected works without authorization."
"Copyright owners are not trying to thwart AI development or put AI companies out of business; they seek to protect their works."
