It might be me but I fail to see the equivalence of AI companies with thirst deaths. That', or maybe because it's a strawman.

The point is that you can buy a book for a few bucks, read it, and have its insights completely available to you. But people are demanding that LLM companies pay far more to publishers for the same copies

You can also buy a book produce a large number of copies after jumbling around some chapters sell it to other people. That's illegal to do if you are person but not if you an AI company.

I suppose an argument might be made for fair use if they released their model weights publicly without financially profiting from it.
