Copyright companies and big AI. Google stands to profit massively if they are the only ones with the budget for a "legal" LLM. In any other context, strengthening copyright laws would be met with riots but they have managed to convince a good portion of the population that it's somehow in their best interest in the space of a year.
That or China (probably both)
Yeah, whatever it is, it isn't just a bunch of suddenly concerned citizens who discovered their love of copyright laws.
