Not really at all.

Fifty shades of grey had to change its entire setting and characters to get published. I can't just produce princess monoke two and not get sued.

I can't even sell t shirts with either on via etsy or similar without risk. Yet I could steal studio ghibilis art style with zero talent involved using a llm to advertise my business, seemingly perfectly legal right now.

    You never hear music in a show or movie that sounds like a shitty knock-off of popular music to comply with copyrights? It happens a lot.

    "Princess Mononoke 2" would copy a bit more than merely style: characters, setting, theme, story, expression.

    Imitating mere style (like Ghibli) for something substantially different was legal before just as it is now for human or LLM. I think people like you are throwing fits because they never realized it (or cared) until LLMs started doing what skilled people were already doing long before.
