Keep in mind, these businessmen only hate AI because it threatens their money.

    so? other businessmen only like AI because it makes them money.

    like it or not money is important in our society, even for artists.

    How much do they need, though?

    You people never factor this in. It's always an on-off switch in your minds.

    consider this. most musicians don't have [n]early as much money as Paul McCartney. Even Paul McCartney didn't have much money when he was starting out in the 60s.

    Look into the future. They're not just protecting themselves. They are protesting in protection of all music artists.

    So an extremely small percentage of them can have excessive wealth like paul?

    Hard pass.

    This.

    Honestly, I'd rather not have copyright at all. The problem is not that copyright law doesn't apply, it's that a particular kind of wealthy businessmen are shifting our policies to fit their needs.
