The_Decryptor comments on Rewriting Copyright Law for Generative AI Would Hurt Everyone

Disney will be able to negotiate and get a large chunck of money from the companies, any small time artist will be denied their art was used and not get anything.

That's literally the current situation, that's why journalists and authors are trying to sue over it.

The EFF is effectively siding with "Disney" here in this case

No? The EFF is siding with the AI companies' claim of "fair use" for exactly the reason you state - that it's better for small creators in the long run.

How does letting AI companies have total access to creators work without needing permission or licensing fees, help them exactly?

The linked article is talking about protecting people making the models, not making the content (It actually specifically says that letting creators choose license their content would actually hurt them, and that AI companies should always have access)

Because you have the same rights as those AI companies. The law doesn't say "you can use this art for fair use purposes unless you're a big mean AI corporation." It applies to us all. You tighten it for one and you tighten it for everyone.
