    The simpler approach to AI, I propose, is to go back to the other thread: when you say you're going to mass-harvest the work of creators so that you can replace those creators at mass scale, that's dead center in the sphere of unfair business dealings. If you only pay creators with enough leverage and tell the others you're entitled to ignore stated conditions about a copyrighted work and take whatever you want, that's unfair dealing.

    Isn't that easy? You don't need metaphysics.

    Of the two threads, comparative criticism is far more pro-business. You can be a megacorp or a 10-year old kid and violate copyright under the compare-the-texts approach. That makes comparative criticism divisive, and if comparative criticism==copyright, then that makes copyright divisive.

    But if our interest is in making sure that money is distributed fairly when there's money on the table, there's a century of copyright jurisprudence focusing on that question, not micromanaging artists.
