This has nothing to do with copyright.

It does. If the AI firms lose, the laws around copyrights tighten and major copyright holders profit. If they win, they get to do what they please and nobody can stop them. Either way, the public loses.

Piracy is already considered illegal and persecuted by authorities, so nothing changes for the public in the first case.

There are exclusions to copyrights accepted under fair use which could easily be tightened if major copyright holders (like Disney) have their way.

Did not know that, then we are f*** either way. Boycott them all, and a pirate's life for me then.
