That would certainly benefit companies developing generative AI. The sooner something loses copyright protection, the easier it is to use it as training data.

Big AI companies already have that data used, and copyright is mostly a concern for the openSource models.

AI companies that used copyrighted data without paying are facing multiple lawsuits. Those lawsuits would go away if copyright went away.
