AI is ignoring so many IP laws while the US government continues to push and collude with its cartels, all the while making sure the technology bubble is all AI and is all US centered. The EU certainly needs to do something, but I imagine many in the EU don't want to put their own IP at risk.

don't want to put their own IP at risk.

Understandably if you ask me. Instead of abolishing copyright laws we should just quiet quit on protecting US intellectual property and let everyone get away with infringing us copyright and give back the peoples access to to open seas ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ.
