Maybe I misunderstood, but the comment seemed to dismiss copyright issues as a cheap way to kill AI ("soft underbelly"). I think stealing code is a pretty serious deal and the onus is on AI software companies to make sure they aren't doing it; it's not "slowing the development of AI" to keep them accountable.

Soft underbelly isn't dismissive, they're just saying that it is the natural target to aim for.

"soft underbelly" is synonymous with "weak point" or "Achilles heel", it's in no way dismissive. If anything, it's the opposite of dismissive.
