Honestly, I find it ridiculous that companies like Disney want to claim ownership over the data used to train AI models. Training data isn’t duplication, it’s learning. The same way humans study, reference, and reinterpret. Trying to monetize every aspect of “influence” is a slippery slope that stifles innovation just to protect legacy revenue streams.
This isn’t about fairness, it’s about control. And the more these companies try to dominate every avenue of cultural expression, the more irrelevant they risk becoming.
