Well thought out and sensible position overall

To be fair, free software _relies_ on copyright. Copyright enforcement is the very reason VMWare got slapped for violating the GPL. Don't get me wrong, I think copyright law in its current state is garbage that benefits the corporations, but FOSS enthusiasts generally realize that copyright, as flawed as it is, is the only tool at their disposal for protecting our freedoms.

I do think there is a moral difference (and there should be a legal difference) between "pirating" something for personal use and abusing someone else's intellectual property for profit. The AI training case is neither. They aren't taking books and selling them for their own profit, nor are they taking them purely to enjoy reading them. They're using it to train an algorithm. I don't think that, alone, is a big deal. There are far worse issues with generative AI, and I fear attacking things from a copyright perspective is going to backfire.
