Under the current copyright regime, nothing's stopping you from condensing that knowledge yourself and publishing in the public domain. But that would be a lot of work for you, wouldn't it? And I suppose you'd rather do work you'd get paid for.

When society decides AI slop will be the only item on the menu, then copyright will die.

Yes, I agree.

I deliberatly formulated that channeling myself as the kid who actually found his drumming valuable but didn't have the money to buy (all) of it. Who was annoyed at society deciding I should not have it.

So I still don't have the answers but the stakes have certainly gotten bigger.
