Neo learns martial arts in seconds from digitalized records. Not discussing intellectual property, but introducing a scenario that justifies Li’s worries.

I bet that they told him: you’re a computer freak on the movie, but once you left the Matrix you became a martial artist by… and then Li though: WOW! An all my training??

For all we know he is learning public domain material that is freely available to anyone.

In the first movie we see very little of how real world society works but in the sequels other than the threat of the Machines things don't look particularly dystopian. In reality we'd probably end up with something much more oppressive under those circumstances.

Jet Li isn’t in the movie, I’m not discussing Matrix Universe. Just guessing how Li’s reaction might sprout from the movie plot.

But, even though, can’t see how we can relate Neo’s learning to public domain material. Recordings of public activities it’s not necessarily public domain stuff.
