I think that this should indeed be public knowledge as we already pay for this with public money via the universities. The same is not true for the creative industry, including many individual artists that need to make a living off these creative works. But instead of addressing this issue of copyright (the fact that people don't have access to knowledge that is generated with their money) the blogposts are instead complaining that #AI should be exempted?

For every Christmas Tree lit before Thanksgiving, an elf drowns a baby reindeer.
Wenn ich die US-Kultur richtig verstehe, feiern heute die weißen europäischen Invasoren Nordamerikas, daß die dort ansässigen Völker damals¹ so blöd waren, sie durch den Winter zu bringen statt sie verhungern zu lassen, was deren Verdrängung, Entrechtung und Unterdrückung in der Folgezeit erst ermöglichte. Zum Dank werden Truthähne verspeist, Südstaatenflaggen gehißt und alles mit nicht hinreichend europäischer Herkunft per ICE sonst wo hin verbracht.
Ist das soweit korrekt?

Recent blogs by KnowledgeRights21 blaming copyright and the creative industry for knowledge hampering instead of, for example, the enormous bureaucracy in place in Horizon Europe / European Commission grants is really something.
Don't get me wrong, I think #copyright should be reformed and in its current form is indeed strange - why can we copyright research articles for example?
