> An AI is like the most well-read book nerd you’ve ever met. The AI has read everything

But no real book nerd has read everything. Current law was designed for the capabilities of humans.

Sure, we could change current law, but I think that only forces an AI company to buy one copy of every book. I don’t think it gives any sort of royalty stream to anyone beyond that. Copyright is literally the right to make copies. Once I have acquired a copy, I can read it, summarize it, transform it, etc. in myriad ways.
