Unfortunately, Congress will end up doing whatever its paid to do.

As far as I can tell, the 3rd circuit is just one step below the Supreme Court. So unless they take the case it’s pretty stuck. Congress would have to go above and beyond to change the existing laws to allow it.

Also with midterms coming up congress is going to have a harder time passing a law. Especially if the republicans lose the house or the senate. Then they’d have to get the democrats and the republicans to play ball, vs just one currently.

IMO Disney and other copyright holders have more lobbying power than AI companies at this time.

That said, damages of a winning suit will end up being minuscule compared the revenue these companies have made from said piracy.

It’s hilarious that the final boss for AI could end up being The Mouse and Associates.

It feels disgusting to root for the copyright legions. Sign of the times.

Big copyright companies are powerful, but the AI bubble is currently holding up the American economy, and there is the AI race with China. Hard to tell how that goes. If Trump wins/cheats his way to a win in the midterms it's going to be more in favor of AI.
